The Storyteller

We all have stories to tell, just like you told me yours. I gave you my full attention. I know I was really quiet after you had nothing more to say but it wasn't because I didn't care, it's just that I had so many things on my mind, So many feeling bursting out of my heart at that moment that I couldn't fathom the words to tell you what I was thinking, feeling, and in that unforgettable moment I wasn't numb anymore. Mainly because I'm the type of girl that falls for those who have a hurting side to them they never show to anyone with the exception of a few. But to keep going, I had an eye opening moment. I stopped "just existing" and started living. I realized how we were all just layers of skin hiding bone. But now I see that feeling alive again brought me to feel so much pain when life hit and happiness was over, even pain that's worse than before.
