Braid and Anticipation

I started playing Braid last night.
Great game.



This is what it looks like.
It's a puzzle game, by every sense of the word...

...no really, there's actual puzzle pieces that are collected on every level.

But that's not the main reason I am writing.

I'm scared, internet.

Matt and I are going to continue our fight tonight.
He wants to settle it all tonight.

Tonight, everything might change.
After Tonight, I might be alone again.
But then, haven't I been alone this whole time?

why can't it be as easy in real life as it is in the movies?

"Half the night I waste in sighs,
Half in dreams I sorrow after
The delight of early skies;
In a wakeful doze I sorrow
For the hand, the lips, the eyes,
For the meeting of the morrow"

~Alfred Lord Tennyson
