Random idea for a one-shot I dreamed up. Literally. I'm not telling who 's POV it is though , so you have to guess.:)

Please review

What is a mask made of?

Is it plaster and paint like the one you hid yourself behind? Or is it fear, anger, and neglect like the emotions that built your mask for you?

Perhaps it's both. Or perhaps it's just the emotions. After all, the mask I hide behind isn't made of anything physical.

Yes, that's right. I hide behind a mask too.I guess you wouldn't really believe it, but then, it's the type that you don't see on first glance. I've had it for so long, you can't tell it apart from my real personality.

Why do I have this mask? For the same reasons you did, to protect yourself from anything that hurts so much you go numb. To prevent anything from hurting you. Or , in my case , to make me more capable of protecting what I love.

But the truth is, that's not fool proof, is it?

Because you still feel scared underneath it, you still feel the fear. But it's just hidden, so where does that get you? Nowhere.

Which is what I realised upon meeting you. So, on that day, It was not only your mask that was broken, but mine as well.

And you know what? It makes bearing pain easier, and I got a reward for it.

Do you know what that is? It's you.

I feel truly honoured that I met you. And I'll miss you . a lot.

Don't forget me, while you are so far away. I'm waiting for you to come back.
