Compromise was then

I remember that place. I almost didn’t care. I was getting what I needed. I didn’t know what I could have had. You reminded me of that place. I was so lonely cause no one was willing to open up. We all had our fists up. None of us wanted to be vulnerable to the same daggers that we used on everyone around us. Isolation was the key to our existence. Atleast you always have yourself. Atleast you can always depend on Number One. Until you can’t. Loyalty was nothing. Friendships were lies. I used you. You used me. Isn’t that how we all get what we need? You may disagree. I remember clearly. I know you know as well. I know you feel alone. I know you felt not so alone with me.

I don’t compromise anymore. I don’t have to. I’m never alone. I’m rarely lonely. I have people who would honestly die for me. And I would die for them. Our souls connect on levels and depths I couldn’t have comprehended.
