switchin up the pov incase any of u get confused :DD

i'm standing outside your door.

do i have the strength to lift my hand up and knock?

it swings open before i can. 

i'm not sure if the face i see is relieving or constricting my lungs. 

was i happier?

was i happy at all?

you did things.

so did i. 

to pretend one is innocent is a fool's game. 

do i want it to end, or do i want to stay in this dance forever?

i bite my lip. 

i speak. 

you look at me. blink. 

once. 

twice. 

why am i even here? 

what are you supposed to say?

there's nothing left, no matter how many times we try and rebuild, our bridge comes crashing down. 

we are not meant for each other. 

to pretend we are, is yet another fool's game. 

we are fools. 

i think. 

i think it is time to let you go. 

so i say, 

"it doesn't mean anything."

"i just figured since you've seen me around, you ought to know."

you press your lips in a straight line. 

is this the right choice? 

i can't hold on to a burning building forever. 

this will be better for me. 

a curt nod. 

i can't tell who does it first. 

i turn around. 

and i leave the steps of your house. 

i turn around. 

i leave you.

i turn around. 

and i let you go.
