We miss each other
because we don’t want to
forget about the feeling
that we used to think
was so alive and well.

We love each other
because we don’t want to
give up on this just yet.

We need each other
because we don’t want to
lie in this bed alone,
reminding ourselves that we
could have tried harder.

And we cling to each other
because we are still
not ready to let go.

Look at my skin, my limbs that are
aching from reaching out for you,
only to grab the air that feels even
thicker than loneliness. If you
touch me, you’ll feel the roughness 
of my texture that’s showing you 
that I’ve been too lonely for too long. 
And the longer I cling to this idea 
of your return, the longer I will live 
with the feeling of regret on my skin.

It’s on a day like today
that I wish you were still here,
still giving this a fighting chance.
A day like today, where nothing
is going wrong or right, and time
feels stuck between the whistling
leaves on the trees that have
seen something like this before.
We could have been content.
We could have remembered
together why it all seemed
worth the risk when it came
to love. On a day like today,
we could have pushed through.

You broke me for the sake
of your own pleasure, and
I was a fool to ever believe
that you were different.

"We will fall in love and we will not look backon everything that toreus apart once before.We may..."

“We will fall in love

and we will not look back

on everything that tore

us apart once before.

We may not remember

why we came here,

or why we left this

behind in the first place,

but we won’t have to

question the reasons

to our own legs moving

in a direction that will

only lead us to each

others arms. Because

when we finally fall in love,

and for real this time,

we will never have to

remind each other

of the past that only

pushed us apart.”

It’s not that easy.
I can’t just forget about you
when you were a part of me.
When you were once
everything to me, and I
was once everything to you
too. Even if I try to forget
about you, you’re still going to 
be there, in the back
of my mind. And if not there,
then inside of my heart.

She was everythingthat I have everwanted to become,and that;s what made me want hereven more.

She was everything
that I have ever
wanted to become,
and that;s what 
made me want her
even more.

"I really thought that I wanted you, or thought you were going to be the one. I have spent so many..."

“I really thought that I wanted you, or thought you were going to be the one. I have spent so many years, so much of my love and my time dedicating myself to you. To wanting to restore your view on forever. To show you that anyone can love, but it takes true courage when it comes to really meaning it. And for awhile there, I really thought I meant it. But then one morning, I woke up to find you next to me, and then finding myself wishing you weren’t there, and that I was alone, and you were somewhere with someone who actually wanted to see your true self in the morning light. And that’s when I knew that I was really over this, finally over you. When I felt the feeling of wanting you to be with someone who actually wanted this just as much as you do.”
