Falling Up

two ghosts

I remember that song, and every time it plays a little part of me breaks. Because it was my favorite song on that entire album and you knew it.

When you couldn't comfort me from the distance you were at, you played it. You played it as a battle cry to my shivering body, begging it to calm itself. But it never did. Those lyrics were all too close to home.

We were, in fact, two ghosts that were horribly unaware of the dangers that we would face so soon. But by the end, we were two people that could barely recognize the other.

We were two ghosts standing in the place of you and me, and that's why i liked that song so much. Because it felt like it was written for us, it felt like our song.

So when those familiar notes rang true from your speakers when we saw each other again, I almost shed a tear for the emotions that it conjured. I almost felt it all collapse again, because it felt fitting to do so with that song as some sinister theme.

But I smiled through it, and gave you that reassuring grin that I've mastered, hoping you somehow felt the same.

But you don't, and we will always be, two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty.
