the mistakes​ we could make, that i have made

1. falling in love with you was the first and the biggest.

see, sagittarius and cancer are not compatible signs.
you are action and fire and vision where i am water and the steady rhythm of the sea, a harbour in a storm.
fire and water have never mixed well and darling, i thought we could do it.
i was wrong.


2. telling you.

that would have wrecked us as we are.
friendships do not survive relationships and i supposed that made us doomed from the start.
but i think you know and i know you know i think this, so we circle each other, waiting for the axe to fall.
i don’t know which of us will survive, or if we survive at all.


3. loving each other.

did you know that you have a way with words, that they fly like arrows, and they always hit their mark?
see, we might agree on many things now but we won’t always, and you have always been careless in your cruelty.
i may have walls and armour around my heart but letting you in stripped me bare.
you may not mean to, but one day you will hurt me too badly, and i will not be able to forgive you.


4. leaving.

you will leave me, in the end. you may flicker like a dying ember until you fade away from my smothering you-
or you might go out in a blaze of glory, and take the best of me with you.
i don't know how to tell you that this is a mistake, that we are a mistake.
i think you can see it.


and yet, you are here.
