now i write

every time i decide to walk away, something else tells me not to.

every night now i have been visited by dreams where he holds me, stopping me, saying and doing all the fairy tale things.

every morning i wake up almost assured it will be worth all the wait.

every evening i go to sleep certain it will be best to just start peeling away the hope.

i could not quite get back to that numb state where i am safe.

where i could just wrap it all up and push it in a corner and start forgetting, start pretending it has never happened.

we are hanging on a moment. a moment when i was without doubt he would have stepped over the much-scuffed line we've been pacing about.

but now there is only all this silence and i am terrified of breaking anything, especially my own heart.

the universe continues to give me mixed signs. yet adamantly pushes me back whenever i head for the fire exit.

i have asked the question : to leap or not to leap.

i am waiting for answers.
