These are the nights when I sit on a counter and gaze at the rain; wondering if I should even continue on.

"Wishes do come true," they say.

Well, the stars have defied them. For not one dream has come true. And I can't help but release tears as the one thing that seemed right was terribly, terribly wrong.

The rain beats down on my body and soul as we walk together…each step painful…as you expose your heart to me. Not wanting reality to end. Your words echo my thoughts as I hear what you have to say. It's been too surreal. An amazing dose of joy.

I teach you all I've learned; though you may not want to hear it. But you have to. You have to face what life has set out for you. A plotline that lead you to the stage. A plotline that lead you to love. A plotline that lead you to heartbreak. A plotline that lead you to me.

You use your diminishing tactics to receive the revenge you searched for, for so long. Receive revenge on them through your hope. The only one still open to your negative nature. Any tears cried for you are satisfying. Even if they're not shed from the eyes of the one who broke your heart. The one who broke your hope.

Here's to the times when we thought we were invincible. Here's to the times when we thought our fairy tale ending would become a reality. Here's to the times when we both fell too fast.

May you rise again and never hit the ground.

I'll be here.

Where I belong.

Alone.
