Take Me With You

by Andrea Gibson

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO LOSE YOURSELF TO WIN ME OVER.

I’M NEVER GONNA WAIT THAT EXTRA TWENTY MINUTES TO TEXT YOU BACK AND I’M NEVER GONNA PLAY HARD TO GET. I KNOW YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN HARD ENOUGH ALREADY.

I AM SO DESPERATE TO LEARN HOW PEOPLE REACH EACH OTHER, I CAN’T STOP RUNNING AROUND CURSING THIS CITY FOR THE DAY THEY STARTED BURYING THE TELEPHONE WIRES UNDERGROUND.

OUR INSANITY ISN’T THAT WE SEE PEOPLE WHO AREN’T REALLY THERE. IT’S THAT WE IGNORE THE ONES WHO ARE.

BEST OF YOU IS SOMETHING YOU’RE STILL HOPING TO GROW INTO?

COMMIT TO LOVING YOURSELF COMPLETELY. IT’S THE MOST RADICAL THING YOU WILL DO IN YOUR LIFETIME.

I SAID TO THE SUN, “TELL ME ABOUT THE BIG BANG.” THE SUN SAID, “IT HURTS TO BECOME.”
