I was doing it again. That lying in bed in a fetal position. Trying to calm myself. Trying to fight off the tears. Trying to not think. All of which turned out to be futile attempts.
And I surrendered to what was inevitable anyway. Belonging to the darkness. Letting that anxiety control me. Cried. Burdened myself with thoughts. I was weak. Defenseless.
Alone.
Yet, how ironic it is to find myself haggling with the loneliness to one mere touch from you. Even if it means accepting what hurts me most, letting go of you. And this is not the ending I wanted it to be.
It’s in the denial that defined what’s between us. Or what was us. I can no longer distinguish what was or what is.
And it’s frustrating. Because I am still hopeful for a fairy tale. Waiting for us. For you. Settling for an abstract ending. It’s in the uncertainty of having you that’s killing what little is left.
I can be strong. I know. It’s just. It’s not that time yet.
Eventhough you’ve given up.
Then I return to the cycle again. Fetal position. Lying in bed. Fighting off the tears. Unthinking.
