do you remember when we used to believe?

all we needed was a little bit of encouragement. the wise words of fairytales, the enchantments and spells that are weaved by our imaginations. it was almost too easy to trust. we put our faith in what we now recognize as nonsensical myths, unbelievable stories. do you remember when we just knew that somewhere fantastical were magical creatures of wonder? when we could feel the swoosh of air from the magnificent wings of majestic dragons? when we could feel the heat of their breath passing through the air, lighting our senses, exploding our nerves? when we could reach out and almost brush our fingers against the curiously rough, textured scales of their bodies? and even though we had never witnessed these fantasies for ourselves, we believed in them, without a doubt, whole-heartedly.
yes, of course it's true
yes, of course this is real
yes, of course it can happen
dreams really do come true.
but do they? as we grew older, we began to slowly recognize the cracks in the facade. those phrases slowly started to slip away, only to be replaced by:
no, of course this is fake
no, of course this is all false
no, it will never happen
we began to lose hope in our fantasies, to lose faith in our dreams, to lose trust in each other. suddenly, the world seemed larger, stranger, more foreign than ever. with every word we said, our doubt grew. how could we believe again when everything we had ever loved had been taken from us, so cruel, so unexpectedly? i can't help but feel lonely now. we've lost our common ground, the spark in our relationship. i still remember the time when we were happy, when we still believed. and i for one know that in my heart, those myths and legends that were snatched away from us live on, growing and developing and thriving even until this very day, and they will never stop. never.
i still believe. but the question is, do you?

please don't leave me alone
