She set rules such as " If this and that happens They are consequences"

Her tone very firm and possessive I was nothing more but apathetic I shoved off

Just to lighten up our atmosphere at that moment I smiled She didn't, simply because this was something really serious No grin at all from her

Well, I followed through But not so long ago did I fall short of the rules she set up In other words I messed up I asked for a second chance Her reply was very clear That I don't deserve it She added, second chances are a refuge of men who fail

Yet here we are talking! My face, very clear enough that I failed her Silence... as I would contemplate about how I ended up here I didn't have the guts to stare any longer at her I put my face down at least I gathered the courage to stare at my feet

She was breaking and sobbed I didn't hesitate to raise my face to look at her again Before I lost the courage She added, " the fact that we're talking is seemingly not an echo of the remaining patience... You are nothing of the words you claimed"
