Truth?

I think she's changing.

She won't admit it, and you would never tell by the sound of her voice.
You would never tell by anything physical.

You need to look into her head, need to care to see it.

Deny it when you talk to her, for you'll still see the same girl.
Go further still, and deny it when you see her in person.

But if you deny it when you read her poetry, the careless way she uses those once precious words, then you're crazy.

Look. Look at before, not now. Look at how all of her words were jewels, strung together just so for the perfect occasion. The world glistened- real words were her gold.

Look. You don't need to care now. She won't mind.

But you know what to say to bring her back.

Or, more appropriately, what not to say.

Numbers

Numbers are, to a specific point, meaningless.
Hopefully you understand what I mean by that.

Mmmhmm

Yeah, I do.
It was more an extra sentence than the meaning of this, though...

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that it shouldn't be in there, it's just something I wanted to point out becuase I had a way to word it.

Don't be :)

You actually helped me realize that- I knew something didn't fit.
I was just looking, and poof!
Thanks!

Er,

Well, you're welcome, I guess...
