for the first time
there is no
guarantee.

no promise
of staying.

in fact,
it.s the
o.p.p.o.s.i.t.e.

it.s guaranteed
that you won.t
be here.

i expect no
false promises.

every.other time
i concentrate
on nothing
but the future:

what.s in it
for me?
promise me
you'll never leave.
why should i make
an effort
if you won't
be around?

why don.t
i get to the
part where
i love you?

even...
if it.s just
for now.

there's not
one.single.reason
not.to.

so i think
i.m gonna.
