I’m on the verge of ice cream and slide shows

I’ve done this thing

Where I’ve centered my world around you

And when you aren’t in it

I’m spinning out of control

How stupid am I, to love?

Love is a fruitless endeavor

The moments of love inevitably end in pain

Even if you are faithful to death

When the reaper comes, it is grim

But is the pain more powerful then the love that was

All I am left with is the pain

All you have are the moments in between

Would you rob yourself of the moments in-between to avoid the inevitable pain?

We do not yet live in a perfect world where the moments in-between are never ending

In this life, love is risk

Love ends in pain

Life is what exists in the moments in-between

I’m just not in-between right now…

I’m in a moment of pain

A moment of self inflicted pain

Pain chosen to enjoy a moment

In-between a moment of pain

And those moments were extraordinary
