I’m gonna tell you something. And, it’s gonna sound bad, the
kind you’ll never accept but deep down, will always know how true it is.
YOU ARE ALONE. AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
It’s gonna suck, but ‘alone’ is what’ll stay with you till
you’re here. You and I can still make a plan. The plan would be to make our
plan work, unlike most of the plans that ever get made, just to be ruined with
regrets and all that’s broken: hearts, relations and people.
You and I can be our only companions. We’ll take ourselves
out to dates, order two cups of coffee at the best coffee shop, and have them
both. We’ll walk from one city to another, with our cameras. And I know we’ll
see ourselves in people and things we take pictures of.
You and I can sit in the library and cry, holding the best
of books in our hands, yet looking out the window at a tree somewhere in the
distance. You and I could be the adults who still look at clouds and imagine
the animals they’re shaped like, only because the children we were (or could
never be) are talking to us in the back of our heads.
You and I could be
sitting at cafés, long after we’ve finished our food, with phones switched off
and kept in the innermost pockets of our bags.We could be counting stars, even when the Sun is out and
disappoint those who cannot. We’ll colour our hair the colour of the Sun, the
trees, the sky, even that of blood, all at different points of time or at once.
And they, they’ll see us. We’ll make them.
Now, do you remember what I told you? No?
Let’s step back a little and face reality.
YOU ARE ALONE. AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
But, you and I will never be lonely.
