Summary: In the darkness the truths' were all the harsher


You thought you knew me. I thought you knew me.. then I saw you, and I didn’t even know you anymore, not the way I used to, you were a stranger that I knew well. As though the years spent together were wiped down to a mere cobwebbing of windows, the dusty forcefulness of stilted conversation.

I used to carry your scent to sleep with me, wrapped deep inside shirts that smelt of grass and your smell – comforting like mother’s hugs, and the fact remains the shirts were always too big, down past knees that were clumsy nine times out ten, bruised or scrapped.

I thought I knew you in the darkest of nights, I thought that when you were beside me deep within the hollows then I knew you the best, more than any other.

I was wrong.
