today was the day. or, well, today could have been the day but ended up becoming the day. i talked about things as openly as i've never talked about anything like that before and she listened and, i guess, understood. and we talked and walked and... and that's all there is to it.
things will happen – just not the way i, deep inside, wanted them to be but the way i, just as deep inside, knew they would be. she said she had no idea. now she does.
and now i'm sitting here, listening to jimmy eat world because that's just the music for this kind of time and i'm wondering whether the smile or the tear on my face is real now, is honest now, which one truly tells what i'm feeling right now... and i fear the answer must be "both".
was it the stone off the heart or the sword overhead? i know. now, i know.
