the deluded ones
made
me
smile
when
the
sky
went
grey.
you
made
me
laugh
when
i
felt
alone
and
insane.
you
made
me
want
to
stay
up
late,
waiting
for
you
to
reply
or
just
to
see
if
you
were
still
awake.
you
made
me
worry
about
the
little
things
you
told
me
like
the
tears
in
your
eyes
and
the
confusion
in
your
mind.
you
made
me
wish
to
god
that
the
feelings
you
had
for
a
girl
weren't
so
complicated
at
that
time.
you
made
me
scared
that
i'd
lose
you
despite
what
you
said.
you
made
me
feel
less
secluded
on
the
days
where
the
turmoil
of
my
mind
matched
the
raging
storm
of
the
sky.
you
made
me
want
to
open
up
and
learn
more
about
you
as
each
day
passed.
you
made
me
feel
overjoyed
at
the
fact
that
i
had
someone
to
talk
to
every
day.
you
made
me
think
and
formulate
various
perspectives.
you
and
i,
we
were
deluded
in
so
many
ways,
but
at
least
you
made
me
feel
human
each
and
every
day.
love,
galena

i find myself drawn to you nowadays, and lately, every single day, i begin to wonder if i made a mistake when i replied back to you with that "hey." because life has changed so much over these past months, and i'm so afraid of what'll happen now since this friendship could easily shatter the moment i open my mouth and say something cruel and so very like me again.

you say that we can work past what happened that day when i became enraged, but i feel as if things have shifted because you can now see that i am not as kind as you believed me to be, and perhaps this is the point where things begin to shatter with ease.

the future is a mystery that has yet to become a part of my history, and i've only begun to realize how frightening it is to look for something that is entirely unpredictable.
