The Last Strand

It hurts to see others live out your dream life.

From the start, I've been held back by various things. My own inability to stop, others around me, family, friends, personal issues. But never have I regretted them this much.

I can smile through all that, even if I loathe that it's become the norm of my life now. Smile, smile, whatever comes down your path; if you can endure it, better smile through it. Smile so you uplift others. Smile, so others don't see you are weaker now.

But, after leaving things off like this? I can't really. For a moment, yes. But how long can I look at her and not be left behind in tears? 

Not for long.

From basically babies, we've been together. And I left love without even knowing what it meant. I've felt heartbreak before even loving fully. And I've heard my heart shatter into a million pieces while still pumping once more. Just for her.

And just like that, she left. Torn away from me, away from all I felt and down I fell first, into a pit and then into the abyss, left to rot.

It hurts to see others stand strong, when you can't find your footing.

So I bathed in it, taking my palms and wading through newfound waters as the mist settles around me waiting to coagulate and swallow me whole. And after all that time trying to fool myself it wasn't love it came out victorious.

Only to be raised back to the same clouds I once soared high in. Just like the way she left, she came back. 

Unannounced. 

How could I refuse? The bond we had was the most precious thing I held. So how dare I refuse that opportunity to reunite with a long lost...friend?

Fool. The bond stayed only for me. For once I left she stopped seeing a stranger in her journey. Just another passing face. Just another fleeting memory. She loves her life. While I love her. And to not let this last strand snap I held back words I should have said.

How could I let this pass? Even if this stood to be the last stand of our bond, I can't treat it like one. I refuse to let this die.

Or so I thought. It died the moment I left once more, to let her breathe from the fog I brought back with me.

Lust, love, affection, compassion were all just names. 

I just wanted to see her smile. At least that's what I will say to her until the moment I forget about it all. As it was as scripted, just another dream.

One I will let go of soon.

She and I will return to the day we first met. Strangers who knew nothing of each other except the names of the other. But I will hold on for as long as I can.

It hurts to see others live out your dream life. Yet it hurts all the more when you take not a step towards it.

It hurts to see others stand strong, when you can't find your footing. Yet it hurts all the more when you never looked down.
