Hug Me and Say Goodnight

Before I knew it, I had become the quicksand in your palm. You can’t hold on to me, and I can’t possibly walk away unscathed!

I don’t want to look back and wonder where we went wrong only after we’ve lost each other.

Everything unfolded just as that dream foretold: in a single moment, it all turned to ashes. Because I never learned to endure, I could never bring myself to bend and compromise.

Everyone thinks I have the power to hurt others, but they forget that I’m only human, flesh and blood, and that I can hurt and cry, too!

I’ve begun to miss the days that slipped away with the plane-tree leaves. Does that mean my heart has grown old?

At first, I thought we could go a long way together. Only later did I realize we were already exhausted halfway there.
