On Wanting Everything to Be Right
You got too comfortable,
forgot he could make mistakes,
and set your consciousness aside
so he could mend the thoughts
which have remained disordered
in your fumbling sobriety,
despite the years of learning to cope
with the pace of regularity:
scraping the mailbox with his key,
dining out every Sunday,
setting the thermostat to sixty degrees,
and changing despite every effort
to remain apathetic about his plans,
how your name became a constant
in his living equations,
the variable which defined the function.
On the morning you leave,
only your luggage and body will move
through the summer shadows
of oak leaves shaking in a breeze,
and on

If I Could Say The Words
I wish that you were in my arms tonight
And I could tell you a truth
I've been holding so tight
I hope my words could steal your heart
If I could say them right
I can't pretend I'm not afraid
When I think of us face to face...
I've been holding back so long
Rehearsing the lines
I've played out this scene
Far too many times
My heart is in your hand
Don't you understand
I can't pretend I'm not afraid
When you and I are face to face...
And how many nights
Can I dream that I've said
All of these words
Then wake to find it was all in my head...
...Now I know exactly what to say
When it's you and I face to face
You can wish on a star

these are the last things i'll say before i'm gone
If I had to give a name to what I'm feeling I would just call it disappearing. Because it's exactly like the way that you can know everything about someone one day and nothing the next. It's the quick death love has that leaves you wanting more – or wanting it back in the best and worst of ways.
If I had to explain I would say this feeling is something like standing outside of your door at four in the morning, even though I know I shouldn't be here, wearing the same wrinkled clothes I had on the day before, wanting nothing more than to beg to come home, but knowing better, because following the motions isn't really the best follow throu

In this chapter, I really wanted to touch on the push and pull that the characters are starting to go through. They're all going through it, not just Veronica. While it is very hard on her, it's also hard on the others. But, because of the point of view that the story is from, we're not able to get inside their heads. Truth be told, I'm enjoying the challenge.
Some things about the chapter:
The French that comes up in this chapter means "Hold me," and "I am here," respectively. If there are native French speakers who feel I need to make a correction, I will gladly accept the correction in a note. 
The older a vampire gets, the more sturdy they become. They move away from the human "squishyness" and into the more hardened being. They can counter it if they so choose, funneling blood to make themselves appear more human, softer. Crai saw no reason to soften himself around her. It wasn't out of spite or trying to scare her. He was simply being as he was.

Every time you post a chapter to this story I have to go back and read all of the others again, because each time you peel away another layer which adds to all the little actions and nuances in the earlier chapters.
Well done
