12 a.m.[too early to think]

It was a dark quiet night;
so dark that the cold was more intense;;
the wind-even stronger
as it passed through her already freezing body
she shivered once,
her body left with a[consistent]chill.
But as she sits still;;solitary:
her mind back tracks
and she thinks of the conversation they'd just shared.
light[simple]but e v e r y t h i n g
when it came to him.
No up bringing of the past was necessary,
it's a new friendship,
one they couldn't accomplish before.
He tried to do it right that[next]time around
but things arent the way they were before.
he couldn't[even]recognize her anymore
[The girl he'd fallen for was gone]

and that hurt more than anything;;
because she was still there,
-hiding-scared && too confused
to even explain her fear {[of losing him]}
a fear too gret that shouldn't exist
and now its too quiet--
so achingly quiet.

time has stopped and restarted
(for him,for her)
he has his life;
and she's just beginning hers.
Just barely and with too much trouble

She couldn't understand her past
and from here on;;since he walked away
she no longer understands
her all but lost[;;meaningless;;]future
where she gets a little more confused
just every passing day.
