Still Standing

I wasn't going to fall for it; a false gesture. Though it was as if nothing changed. We talked as if nothing happened, but for me it was as if I was the only one badly bruised. I could have gave in and hugged him, but I wasn't going to let him hurt me again. Jokes and laughs can engulf us, but my wall is still standing. Time will only tell if I let the wall crumble.
