Say "I Love You"

To see what is in front of you yet see past it at the same time, something inside you is actively avoiding the confrontation of the whole truth. Could it be that you've been cornered into scraping up the tiles of your foundation one by one? Ah, it's agonising, to feel all these years chip away. I realised long ago that I couldn't trust myself to stay true to myself.

Say, there's so much more I want to say. Any more and I would have given it all up.

It's a conflict not easily stirred; ripples, from its weakest vibrations toward the centre.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything. Closing my eyes, I could have sworn that I saw us under the fruit tree, gazing at the haze beyond the locked gates of brass.
