(0311) hope matters
hope matters, but it didn't matter for her until it was convenient so who's stuck in neutral now? i've thought of her face many times since then, but i've realized i have better things to think about. better faces and better places. moving into the wall of sound that she couldn't hear if she tried... and i'm so happy i said goodbye.
i colored outside the lines for myself, and she'll never comprehend that.
drained all the water out of that plastic bottle and just bought another.
unknown. a fake establishment built on a house of cards. never again. i close the door and rub my eyes. can't give up because of an overarching, undying sky. wasted a few minutes staring into a broken telescope and came out on the other side of life. i contemplated the silence of the world in that peaceful, flowing stream with dead fish caught up in the wires. signs that led to a realization of where i was.
some weeks later, a soul interlinked with ours vanished in a flicker of light. i hesitated a few times from day to day, ignoring it as if it never happened. just a figment of my imagination, i'd say. the truth, however, was far more cruel. the fact remains that what we witnessed and what we were a part of happened.. and was beautiful.. and that can't be taken away.
time is only split up in fragments so it's impossible to dream continuously. we miss what we've only grasped at. our thoughts now going through the air at the speed of light - but someday, we won't need that technology to cross vast distances. i'll wait for it with the passion of my entire existence, and i won't grow impatient because i know it's only building up the fire so, for when that times comes, it'll have all the space in the world to breathe and burn slow.
