Specific?
Yes,specific.
That's it exactly.
And yet, even though it's all part of my imagination the pain still feels so real, but not... specific. No, this is pain in a more general sense. I guess. A pain that cannot be traced to a particular limb or organ. It's not like when I slipped on ice a few winters back and couldn't stand straight after I slowly rolled out of bed the next morning. This is almost a full body ache that can't be identified with precision. Something I'm indifferent to because I know it will not go away.
Besides, what really hurts is knowing I could've prevented this all along. If I had just been more specific. If I could've possibly been less obscure this wouldn't be an issue. If I'd been less ambiguous and just said "I love You", I wouldn't be here, in pain.
So let's see what you can come up with...
