Moving on
Lying awake, night after night, crying out to God... asking him to help her to accept what she fears so much.
Things Change. People move on.
As she raises her hands, and begins to realize the pain she really feels, she begins to wish it all away. Wanting to hide away from what she sees... time is going on and she wants to turn and walk away, but she remembers; remembers oh, so much.
So many giggles; so many moments
She is hurt and sad. Others seem to be able to move on, why can't she? With each smile, she sinks; with each glance, she is pushed further away.
I suppose her silence is her self defense.
Her silence may save any hope she still has, but if it is her silence which causes her loss... then it is her worst mistake.
