Think if we were swinging on a bench together, out by the deep ocean, the breeze sweeping across our faces. Think if we were sitting in the sand, soft blanket underneath us both as you held me close as I listened to your beating heart. Think if you said "I love you" and you held my cheek, whispering a soft tune in my ear. But instead of you, it's someone else. Someone who will never live up to your expectations, but- just think about it. You're stuck, blended in the shadows, always watching from the distance, too scared to say "I love you" and instead you let me go. I saw you as my angel, my source of light in the darkest of rooms, allowing me to find my way. Yet you can't guide yourself out of the dark. Think about it.
