Maybe I came on too strong,
Maybe I waited too long,
Maybe I played my cards wrong,
Oh just a little bit wrong
Baby I apologise for it
I could fall or I could fly, here in your aeroplane
And I could live, I could die,
Hanging on the words you say
I've been known to give my all,
Jumping in harder than ten thousand rocks on the lake
So don't call me baby, unless you mean it
And don't tell me you need me, if you don't believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you

Lately, time was nothing more than a blur. Mondays rolled round without much warning, leaves fell from trees, things happened. Seasons were symbolic, an ironic kind of metaphor for life. Seasons represented change - but change represented seasons. Which came first? It was one of those impossible questions that wouldn't receive an answer, probably because nobody knew. Nobody stopped to think about things enough. People had a habit of wrapping themselves so tightly within the confines of their own little lives that they stopped noticing the little things, the things worthy of consideration. Like the seasons. Like questions without answers. All most people knew was how to live their way. Sun up, do the day, sun down. Every day for the rest of their lives. Bound by time. Existing, but not really living. Not... properly.
Course, there were little things in between that made all the routine stuff worthwhile - births, marriages, deaths. That was it. And it wasn't overly exciting.
But
People come into your life, and it changes things.

(Firstly creds to Ed Sheeran for the song lyrics that this little piece is going to be based around. If only I was as poetic!)
Prologue-esque thing, because the idea came to me and I forgot. May or may not take it far, but there will definitely be a few chapters to it. Having a bit of a mare on here with all the unfinished stories, it really is like juggling jelly. That being said - if any of my followers are Lily and Iain fans then you'll (hopefully) like this if I write it well, short though it may turn out to be. Stay tuned!
