"Are you strong enough to stand

Protecting both your heart

And mine"

-Florence and the machine

He stood at my door, about to turn and walk away, I realized.

I reached out and touched his arm.

"I waited," I said to him.

He looked surprised.

He shrugged me off.

"I shouldn't have gave you that letter," he mumbled.

"Yes you should," I replied.

He just shook his head in response.

He turned to leave, but stopped.

He pulled the little cylinder out of my pocket.

He looked shocked.

I turned away.

He didn't, shouldn't, have to know.

I told him it was my sister's.

He wouldn't believe me.

He shouldn't.

Why would he?

He believed me anyways.

He shrugged, and walked away.

It made me wonder, is this even worth it?

Lying?

All I do is lie.

Tell me, what's the point?
