Innocent Danger

Prologue - Goodbye My Friend

(Recently added 16/11/2016)

Dear old friend,

I just wanted to talk to you again ... one last time.

You are distant, cold, and harsh.

Yet I loved you. No one could ever understand how much it hurt, but you did.

I tried so hard to forget you, but I couldn't. Believe me, I tried.

It used to hurt so bad, I lost the feeling of feeling. I hated who I was and how I was defined by my past. Until he made me feel again, he reminded me of all the things I fought so hard to forget.

Every word, every memory, every pain. He reminded me of them all.

I hated him.

I hated the way he used to act, as if there was nothing going wrong in his life, as though life was something he had planned all along.

He was a ship that sailed his way through the stormy sea, and me? I was a bird with broken wings that struggled to fight off the briny water from entering my lungs.

I've been called a "Murderer", God knows how many times. But you know what? He saw the invisible me, he heard the unheard me, and he accepted the unwanted me.

He was the one that needed a hero, yet he became my very own hero.

Everywhere I went, I used to break things, and the more I tried to fix them, the more I made things worse.

You told me, "It's fine to break things." That the world has broken me, so it's fine to break it in return.

However, he taught me how to fix things, that I don't need to try so hard.

Dear darkness ... my old friend, it's time to say goodbye.

I found my light, and I am not going to give it up to anything or anyone, not now, not ever.

I'm sure we won't see each other ever again, because where light exists, you won't.
