'masochism is a valuable job skill'

everything else
is inbetween;

last night, she said, ‘oh baby, i feel so down, oh it turns me off, when i feel left out.’

i couldn’t place it. i knew i loved, i knew i loved someone, i had to. but i couldn’t place it. who? was it now? was it then? was it in the future?

all the old faces came back, and i tried to do a little mix and match - like we used to in kindergarten, with the square pegs and round holes - none of them fit. and when his face came up, i looked at it long and hard and wondered, why didn’t i love him? i did for so long - he always felt right. but he wasn’t.

and then i saw you.

everything came falling down, realisation hit so hard that there wasn’t another way around it.

couldn’t fight it, even if i tried.
