5:44 AM

I've never felt so close to a stranger as I did in that hotel room.
We all have our roads; we all have our stages.
But it's here where we collide. And it's here where we will part.
It's here where we forget we are lonely.

Floor

These secrets are golden.
These secrets do not come easily.
These secrets stay hidden in the attic where they are cold and can grow lonely all by themselves.

But these secrets are starting to seep through the ceiling, and you're starting to enter the house. You're standing at the doorway of each room, and you've found you are able to make yourself at home here. I just hope that when these secrets make their way to the comfortable green chair you've chosen that you don't decide to run out. Because plenty of people have sat in that chair before, and plenty of people have left that chair empty.

Screw Up

I told you I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
I just wish you would believe me.

8:08 AM

It hit me.
It consumed me.

And I'm not entirely sure you know what's at stake here.

Sleeper

And even though you're high and completely unaware of the fact that you stayed up all night just to talk to me, I will treasure this moment. You're laughing and smiling with me again. It's been a long time but that cloud finally settled beyond the horizon.

I hope it never rises again.

Had

I had those kisses that you now saturate yourself in.
I had those hands that you now hold.
I had those eyes that you now adore.
I had his thoughts that you now entertain.
I had those feet that always stood in between mine.
I had his body against me that now lays next to you.
I had his heart that you are now piecing back together.

I had it all.
Or at least I thought I did.

It's What We Don't Know

. . .that keeps us coming back for more.
