life floats by us, as we stand still. we stand motionless saying nothing. no words, just silence, but emotions fill the air. a sense of sadness surround us, and all there is to do is stare. we stare back at each other studying one anther’s facial expressions and we know what we want to say, but finding the right words to say it is too much of a struggle, one of which we never seem to win. i feel myself giving up, but i feel myself giving in. i don’t want to live without you, so i hold on no matter how much it hurts. i don’t want us to be just a memory we look back on, but i also can’t live like this. all of my thoughts and these words continue replaying in my head. no matter how far i run away, they follow me. i can’t escape. i remain a prisoner in my own mind, and things go left unsaid. everyday i wake up and things are exactly the same. routines of thoughts and actions i wish i was brave enough to change.
