i knew somewhere,

in the back of my heart,

that you were angry because you were so damaged.

but it hurt me too,

every time i tried to reach you and you'd

lash out or

pull away.

after all, i'm only human too.

so when you changed for the better

and decided to trust me one more time,

the mirage slowly melted away and under it all, I saw

the little boy i remembered that i had never met,

and he held out his hands out of fear of

abandonment.
