There are sirens wailing somewhere outside my window. It's 6 a.m. Naive thinking, but some part of me believes that it's for us. I'm not entirely fooled though; I know that there have been way too many false alarms for there to be anything sent to rescue us.

I'm just so, so tired of trying. Tired of trying when I can so easily recall days where we didn't have to. Everything came easier. Conversations, laughs, even the disagreements -- they would come and go, because nothing was allowed to get in between of what was building.

What brought us together tore us apart. Slowly. Divisively.

Now I feel trapped in my bed. Somehow I have to go out into the world and act as if this never happened. I have to face my day with diminished hope. And I'll be ok, I know I will. 100%? No. But a little bit, and that makes me feel like a traitor.

I honestly just wish you thought differently. And that I didn't have these obvious trust issues. "Crushed up, 'cause I fucked up."

But moreso that you thought differently.

It's crazy what being with someone, caring for someone can do to you. Then when the lack of trust gets involved. Maybe time away with help heal that, but I know that you are a genuinely good guy. I know that because from the little you've shown me it's gone such a long way!

I hope it all turns out well for you darling.

So late replying to this, but thanks. They do say time heals all wounds, so you know, hopefully it works. If I can even stay away that long without wanting to feel what I felt.
