billie and timothée

every fibre in me wants to shout and scream 'stop!'
to run across to him, to take him in my arms
to tell him, 'i love you! you silly, silly man, i love you!'
but instead i stand still
heart cracking
those little curls on the back of his head bouncing
as he steps out of my life, forever.
