This is How You Remember
Your voice will be soft, and in that softness my resistance crumbles and I will reach out and take your hand. In that moment, as you are ready to throw away your dreams for me, I will love you more than I have ever loved you before. You will feel my love, and my sadness and my aching regret flow from me into you; and this is the moment, this is the moment poised between night and day, caught in the twilight of the stars, where everything slows down and you and I are hanging in the balance, held together by only a thread; because this is the last moment we have together before I will decide whether or not to break your heart.
