Sometimes life is fun.
Sometimes life is awesome to live. Sometimes you feel like life couldn't possibly get better, like when she asks you about musicals, the first human to talk to you in months. You feel elated, like maybe there's hope for you yet.
Sometimes life gets even better than that, like when she decides you're her friend. And even better when she listens to your favourite song. And even better when, after a month of friendship, she finally understands WHY it's your favourite. She can tell how sad and lost you've been. But she doesn't take advantage of the moment. She doesn't run for the hills. ...She doesn't leave. She stays with you. She actually stays. And you KNOW life won't get better.Sometimes life is fun like that.
Sometimes it's not.
Sometimes it kind of hurts. Like when she's smiling, but she's still crying. She nevertheless waves. Her smile falls as she gets smaller and smaller, then you look away and wonder if you'll ever see her again.
