a letter to no one

the hints were there all along, but i guess i refused (for a time, at least) to see them. that's the way with most people i suppose - sometimes we create illusions for ourselvers to make us forget of uncontrollably hopeless situations. sometimes we go too far and actually take the as a reality and replace the truth with our own self-indulgent fantasies. in my case, i fabricated this grand illusion that maybe it would be possible for me to win your affections, your love, even. illusions are like a house build of cards. the higher it gets, the more likely it is to topple. it's alright to build, say, a three-story house of cards, but if you go too far and make it too high, the laws of probability and gravity will bring that house crashing down. unfortunately, i made the mistake of building too high, and of course, the illusion came crashing down on me.

Expectation is the root of all heartache.
