fidgeting

i place my head upon this rock so that i may sleep sound tonight. i fixed my skirt over my hips. i took my feet out of my sandals and i stood on them. "i love you. i don't think you'll ever grasp exactly what that means. i don't love anyone anymore. what i did to you can never be undone. i wasn't about to fake romance to save you face. we will not strum on our heart-strings with our lips. your fingers will not linger on my hips. i love you with all my being that is known unto me. i don't want this to be like the other times i've done this." i blinked a tear and choked the scream. i fixed my skirt over my hips. i shoved my feet into my sandals and i walked away. i place my head on this rock so that i may sleep sound tonight.
