There are some walls you can push through, there are some walls you just can’t.

I gave my word to keep quiet. I’m doing so out of respect.

Those hurtful words will stay where they are right now.

You know what you did. You know what you said. What a lousy story.

Once again, I find myself considering that person’s situation. I never stopped caring for that person. The messages were painful, but seeing that person confused and seemingly unsure of what to do was even more painful. That’s why I’m taking the silent path. You’re right. I never had him. I will never have him. However, you have to learn that caring and easing that person’s suffering is not confined under the circumstance of being in a relationship. 

This is not stupidity. Call it whatever you like. Here’s the thing, with love comes acceptance, trust, and loyalty. You don’t ask anyone something in return. I see things as they are. I have no expectations. 

So keep them coming if that’s what you want. 

Give me a shot.

I’ll tell you the things that I really want to.

I’ll tell you the things that would both knock us down.

Let’s see.

Sometimes it just takes one sentence from a person whom you hardly even know to completely alter how you see things. Tonight I got to talk to this person who said something that made so much sense that even now I can’t even find my way to slumberland. Damn it. That person was right. That particular point of thought is the perfect spot to finally start deciding what I should do.
