Rubicon.

You and I know some about each other, though there might be some catching up, dark moments to share.

I've got a few of my own. I'm sure it's no less for you. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

It is hard, we are turtles with cracked shells, lions with worn teeth, famelic cheetah heaving under the hot sun.

And we strive. We endure.

What is it you fear, I keep thinking? How can it be that you fear me? Or do you fear another betrayal? What is it that you fear saying when you look into my eyes?

Do you think you can sink me any more? I already face the prospect of not seeing you again, the second hardest thing in my life (I'll be honest).

I put my heart on a sleeve and come out with my name on my words. A true slave to them, for I do not hide.
