But I know this universe holds few certainties; I know that in this universe two negatives cannot cling onto each other for very long before being torn apart. Because I know one day, she'll discover that I'm no different from the rest of them. Sometimes I speak but I'm not really saying anything at all. I listen but I don’t really hear. I still laugh when the joke is not funny. I apologize even when I do not accept that I am the one at fault. I'm just one big fraud, nothing but a congregation of noise. A man incapable of holding his own gravity cannot keep another from floating off the ground. I am afraid that when she discovers this, she will despise me.
