I wait for your text.<\/p>\n

After hours we don’t do much.<\/p>\n

I see you,<\/p>\n

You see me,<\/p>\n

We don’t talk openly,<\/p>\n

Be honest…<\/p>\n

I know that I don’t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The soft moonlight hits us as we walk past the old tree stump.<\/p>\n

The tree was cut down because it was causing a wreckage with its long heavy branches during stormy days.<\/p>\n

The tree was too much of a burden…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel like I’m that tree.<\/p>\n

I feel like if I speak to you I am that tree.<\/p>\n

I feel like if I try to get to know you I am that tree.<\/p>\n

I feel like if I ask you about your dreams I am that tree.<\/p>\n

I feel like if I try to help you I am that tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel like my heavy branches keep pushing you away.<\/p>\n

Just like the homes that were broken during the storm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m a burden that should be cut down,<\/p>\n

Rejected for asking you about your life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel like you’re ashamed of yourself.<\/p>\n

I feel like you need someone’s help.<\/p>\n

I feel like you are a lost soul who just needs some guidance.<\/p>\n

I feel like you are an amazing piece of work.<\/p>\n

I feel like you are someone who deserves to live more than the aimed amount of years that you told me about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel like…<\/p>\n

I am fantasizing what we have,<\/p>\n

Again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
