41.
Standing over the bath tub in nude.
My vision starting to blur over.
But all I could think about is you.
42.
I point people directions.
To avoid danger and confusion.
The directions to my heart.
43.
I think once I can stand to see myself in the mirror.
Is when I'm able to stand in front of you again and be okay.
44.
This isn't who I used to be.
I didn't have a wall built up so high.
That someone couldn't see over it.
I didn't give people a cold-shoulder.
I looked people in the eyes and told them how I felt.
I didn't run away from it.
I faced it head-on.
But that isn't me anymore.
~E, the way I used to be.
45.
I didn't expect you to stay.
But I didn't expect you to leave so soon.
~E, leaving me behind.
