A very wise, though a bit eccentric man once told me to always speak simply and plainly. I used to, and then the things of life, and heartbreak caused me to be more cautious, less transparent and to hide behind words only I would understand. And I found other people doing the same thing and so we all drifted away on a sea of metaphors and missed opportunities, till it became too late to change the course we set for ourselves.
And it IS too late. So the time has come to stop pretending that something will become of nothing. It just won't. I know that in my heart.
I'm still drifting, but these days I drift toward the end of days, my days at any rate. But maybe I can change one thing as I drift along to the edge of eternity. Maybe I can go back and take that man's words to heart. And maybe you should too.
Speak simply, speak plainly.
Goodnight ~

Thank you Sir Rusty for reminding me of those words.
