the vanished birds, pt. 2.
dialogue prompts from the vanished birds by simon jiminez.
if i was brave, i’d trust you.
you’ve never let me forget it, not once.
you love to leave.
don’t you dare talk to me about abandonment.
i wonder where my self-preservation fled to.
not for a very long time.
when did you become so cruel?
the company was nice, is all.
if it was good, then why did you leave?
it’s a lonely feeling, isn’t it?
please drink as much as you’d like.
are you from here, originally?
the ear hears, but the heart listens.
take my day, but give me the night.
not everyone can be saved. some people just die.
my comfort is not your responsibility.
the only one you have to take care of is you.
i would do it all again, if i could.
i’m far away. i don’t know how to get back.
i knew something wasn’t right. i felt it.
no one visits the same place twice without an intention.
my arms were not meant to hold soft things.
that was an order, not a suggestion.
what do you do for fun?
some memories aren’t worth keeping.
not everyone gets to leave.
‘what if’ is all we’ve got.
i love you. do you hear me?
i don’t care what you are. i will always love you.
you think sweet lines like that are going to make me forget everything?
i know it’s scary, being at the end.
i’ve had a surprisingly beautiful time with you.
every prayer is for you, has always been for you.
i have to ask.
i can’t believe you’re alive.
this is all a bit much for me.
you tried. that’s enough for anyone to be proud of.
don’t talk. save your energy.
