This is far too much for me. The constant feeling of hoping that the gradual fading of everything will somehow repeat itself to me and I can’t let myself be found until I get to hear that sound, that harmonic resonance that reminds me of your presence. I can’t help but get lost in the darkness of my own thoughts cause it’s these voices that I can hear that leave a ringing in my ears. I don’t know why I find it so much harder to breathe with you counting on me, but I want to know why it’s echoed my mind, why it resonates so harmonically, why I can’t help but get lost in the darkness of my own thoughts. I just hope that it repeats itself, that gradual fading of every thing, that constant feeling of knowing that this is far too much for me.
