alongside each other we trudge our separate paths

once upon a time sometimes, we glance at each other. always the surprise at the semblance of company. always the staunch denial thereof thereafter.

i'm afraid to be alone now, i have to always have company. the phone bill is getting increasingly costly with the number of texts i send - free for dinner? how about supper? do you want to have coffee? been to the library lately?

to fill the gaps with meaningless laughter or to embrace my inner fluffy useless self i don't know.

disney disneyland, all the sparkles of joy i wish upon you. happily, ever after
