Cold winds, as blue as the sea...

[kiyoskia]

I am extremely afraid of any kind of initial contact, aren't I? Am I that afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance, I avoid a betrayal of my trust. But while I may not be hurt that way, I mustn't forget that I must endure the loneliness. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone. I know pain is something that man must endure in his heart. And since the heart feels pain so easily, some believe life is pain. We are delicate like glass, that is, our hearts are.

Make what you will of this, or make nothing at all of it. The ball's in your court.
