in a short dress that slit up to the highest part of my thigh, i sat on your bed. cracked my knuckles, and looked down at my tall shoes. the dream was not the reality i had hoped for. or was it that the reality was not the dream? i guess for the first time, i had brushed my bangs from my eyes and could actually see. the lipgloss on my mouth made my frown even heavier and i licked it off before i spoke. for a brief moment, i wanted to run back to you. to kiss you. to let you hold me in your safe arms for the rest of my life. but i didn't. instead, i climbed out the window and said good-bye.Birth sign: Not entered
