One.

Alone.

Walking still.

A lonely road.

Someone approaches.

Stranger? Maybe no more.

Two hearts beating together.

If only for a while longer.

A moment, breathless, shared together.

But it still remains just an illusion.

My heart crushed by my own delusions of change.

Threading softly not to wake you from your slumber.

Daring to hope for another day or two.

Falling again, was I ever the fool.

Many regrets, and yet still hoping.

That somehow, I did the right thing.

Opening myself to you.

It's harder than it should.

Please stay; I sure would.

I am so scared.

Terrified.

To lose.

You.
