How easily fooled you can be when you follow your heart. I haven't slept for two nights, wondering what went wrong. You disappeared into the night, but I still see you in the empty streets, in the dark corners and behind the trees. I shouldn't count on an explanation or await confrontation. The truth is screaming out to me. Story after story, I can't seem to find my peace. It first starts beautifully. Romantic atmosphere, hopes running high, emotions hard to catalyse, secret wishes, plans, fun, laughter... And it all comes crashing down in a week or two. You're back to where you were, as if it all never happened. You realise this was just another chapter of your life, it's over and you're moving forward. You still have scars, no matter how this person affected you. But how many scars can a human being bare? How can you climb mountains in just a couple of seconds? Deep down inside you know it's not possible, but you want to believe it is. You know you're making a mistake but you do it anyway. You have the chance to dash out, but you don't know why you hang in there, as if an unbeatable force has taken over. If this is not love, than what is? I don't know how it works anymore. Mixed emotions rush to my head and another dozen questions. It's like not knowing the difference between being drunk or sober. I feel stupid.

Time is the only answer.
