Have you ever wanted something or someone so bad that it starts to hurt to even think of them? A nagging ache that you just can’t seem to shake loose. To ask yourself why do I feel this way? I have all the confidence I need but I still can’t seem to escape. The pain so great I wish I had never met that person at all. Laying there at night pretending to hear their call. Living in a dream where you almost feel like you’re in an endless freefall. Daydreaming trying to project your loved ones image on the wall. Still in total darkness you see it all. Wanting so much to reach out to them. So with your mind you try to call, feel me, love me, hold me, take me all. And though you try and try you get no response. Your mind arm retracts and you’re all alone. Left by yourself, in the darkness their image still on the wall . . .
