I wish I knew the things to say.
I wish I knew the things to do.
Was I enough? I guess I'll never know.
Perhaps I took too long. Time does not wait.
It is like a train at the station. A boat at the dock.
One must hurry, lest ye soon be departed.
If only I were faster, maybe things would be different.
Instead of two separate journeys, we'd be travelling as one.
Now, I'm alone and without you.
My heart weeps over what could have been.
Tears pouring both inside and out.
Drowning in both sadness and sorrow, I can't help but blame myself.
Because it's all my fault.
What could have been must remain as imagination.
I bear this punishment for my own hesitation.
Just like time, love also does not wait.
It is a tender rope that is held together by bristles of affection.
Without care, those bristles will break.
One by one, until there is nothing left.
Until eventually, everything snaps.
This is why we call them heartstrings.
And mine are torn into pieces.

The Abominable No-Meatman
So, I had an idea. I was wondering if Pennywise the dancing clown went vegan because he wanted to befriend humanity, what would he eat? Would there be food options for him, or would he have to starve just to be put in a better light with us humans. So I’ve created a special restaurant and menu just for him. This way, if Pennywise were to become vegan, he wouldn’t have to get creative with his dietary choices, I’ve done it for him. I’ve taken the work out of going vegan on his behalf! Here is a special restaurant and menu I made just for our friend, Pennywise!
