(like it really matters anyway.)

“You should know; you showed me how.”
“Always. Forever. No matter the weather.”

“Cry, because you know it’s true...”
“... I know you're insecure.”

“You pretend to listen. It’s written on your face.”

“I was blaming you for my mistake...”
“... I shouldn’t have lied, and I apologize.”

“If nothing beget nothing, would you still try as hard?”

“I can't ever swear I'm not going to fall,
but maybe with your hand, I can make it through.”

“The world can't revolve around something that doesn't exist, right?”

“She’s staring into the face of…
herself.”

“You’ve got me by something deeper, and no, it’s not alright.”

“So cast another wish upon a star. Eventually, it’s going to fall.”

“Beloved, did you think that this was real?”

“This is my vow…”

“How many hearts are ours to break?”
“You just can’t seem to comprehend this isn’t going to end like you want it to!”

“For once, I’m speechless...”
“... I’ve never been more wrong in my life.”

“But honey, I can see it in your eyes.
This is killing you inside.”

“How could I have known you’d be right were I left you?”

“I can stop pretending now. Reality has finally killed the fantasy.”

“Tell me anything you want. Just say it to my face for once.”

“Break me.
Go ahead.
I dare you.”

“There’s nothing ‘true’ about this girl in front of you...”
“... I want to know where all this leaving leaves me!”

“Those words sound so beautifully empty rolling off your tongue.”

“Caution, baby angel, don’t get lost in dreams,
because they can hurt far more then reality.”

“I never gave a damn anyway.”

(“you’ll have to be more convincing then that,” she whispers.)

a/n: bits and pieces of conversations and other writings of mine all mashed together to try and say... something. I'm not quite sure yet.
