A promise in the dark.

There was no reason to hang on anymore. It was something dead, or close enough to call it dead. You know things have come to an end when you don't get butterflies at the thought of him. However, it'd be unfair to say that we've lost all that was found or that we didn't make quite a good pair. The way we met, the way we were attracted to each other so quickly, they're not moments you easily find in every other couple. I was shaken by the thought of losing him. The fact that he's not going to be the first person I'd share my happiness and sadness with, the fact that he's not going to be the person I'd find safety and comfort in, it scared me to the core. But I knew from the start that we were going the wrong direction. There isn't much left that could've been done to something so broken. I ran, before it could eat me from the inside. And that was it. I was alone again.

But I'm single, not dying.
