I have always eyed love as something nonexistent

Something that belonged in fairytales

Let alone a love that lasts forever

I didn't believe in love at all

Love is still something quite nonexistent

But now that I've seen him

Will I feel the same

I don't love him

Obviously not

But there's a flutter in my heart

That I may not love him now

But I may someday

And then I jolt awake

It's a dream after all

There is no love here

All a mystical dream

Love is something we humans made

To help us see things through

For those who go find this as the purpose

Who have nothing other to do

It's nonexistent

Love is like a star for me

I may see it

But it's long-dead

Long gone

Never to be seen again

Love is hope for other

But hope is a thing with feathers

In your heart's cage

So maybe the one is just a key

Love is just a thing with feathers

Locked in my heart's cage

Trying to fly...

But I don't believe in the thousand skies

So locked is how it will be

I've seen him now

But never again

For fate is something just for books

And fairytales are something nonexistent

I'm never gonna let you close to me Even though you mean the most to me 'Cause every time I open up, it hurts So, I'm never gonna get too close to you Even when I mean the most to you In case you go and leave me in the dirt

-Sam Smith

If you had the choice…

Would you change all of it? If you had the choice, would you erase me from all your memories?   Would you befriend someone else? Would you walk a different lane? Would you have never picked up my call that day? Would you not ask me to accompany you to classes? Would you never have talked to me in school? Would you never have walked home with me? Would you have just cycled past me instead of walking along? Would you never have asked me a hundred questions a day? Would you never have texted me? Would you have drenched in the rain instead of sharing my umbrella? Would you never have shown me your new EarPods that evening? Would you never have shared your playlist with me? Would you never have said you liked mine a lot? Would you not have shared your secrets with me? Would you not have asked me for mine? Would you never have made up a game for just the two of us to play? Would you never have been my friend? Would you never have… Or you would never have listened to the others? Or you'd never have ignored me for a month? Would you not have pushed me away? Would you never have gone out of your way to cut me off? Would you never have given that shitty reason for it? Would you never have lied about making amends?

Or would you have done it differently? Or you would have let it flow the way it did? Or you wouldn't have changed a thing? Would you let us go down the same road again?

If you had the choice…

And in the end Thetis sat and listened to the man she hated so much and she heard him talk of her son so amazingly and beautifully

She finally learned everything about her son who he was how he was what he felt how he did and to honor him she carved on his tomb what felt most right she carved what made Achilles Achilles

She wrote Patroclus
