[28] – Reprieve

The girl looked at the boy.

"I'm still a stranger

So I'm in no position to judge

Whether you are as horrible as you say

Or whether you are worth much more.

All I know is that I'm a stranger

Which means in my eyes

You are still completely innocent.

I also know that I'm currently in the position

To rescue and reprieve.

I won't be the light at the end of the tunnel

But I'll be the one holding your hand

All the way until the end.

I'm a complete stranger

Which means that you can be as open as you want

Because one day I may disappear

And nothing will change

For either you or me.

It's the magic within strangers

Where you have strong mutual trust

Only because one day

They might vanish

And it won't impact anyone's life at all.

If the world was a book

And pages were people

I promise you that even with all your ink smudges

And coffee stains,

With all your folded corners

And tea tinted edges,

I will be there to read your story

Word for word

Until the very last

Paragraph. "
