The hand on my wrist had just ticked another minute away between me and that moment, I can still feel the touch of your lips on the surface of mine, and I knew I was never going to see you again. Each second lost was one with you not there, you not with me here; I still can't forget your face, from the first time we made our feelings known. If only--these two words plague my mind--I'd somehow stopped you; stopped you from making that mistake. It was a mistake, though you might argue otherwise, you always did argue otherwise. I can't say I know how you felt, all I could do was try to help. I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but I've been so

I set my roots down through the ground. Grow up, reach out. Keep going growing and growing. Grow a leaf; so green, so young. Until it turns red, until it leaves me. Start to rot, I'm infested. I get cut down to size. Keep falling down so far down. I'm a log, all that's left; the lines of rings around my name. You fell too, pick yourself up. It's all you can do, I can't.
