the abyss always gazes back

it would have been so easy. i would have bid you goodbye in that moment. you would have gone home - eventually sad for the early ending of the night - and i would have gone home in peace, with a broad smile drawn into my lips, thinking i've passed the test. alas, i couldn't do it though; and by not doing it i damned myself. i dared gazing into the abyss, confident enough that i could beat it; but it gaze back, and even before i realized, i was lost. of all things i regret, this is probably what i regret the most.
