that you toss & turn from side to
side, that it's my face that you've been
seeing in your dreams at night.
you'll always be my baby.
how many more times will i be able to remember that?
will i ever remember that again? how many times can you revisit a memory?
& hold onto. a love that makes my heart skip,
& gives me that amazing feeling in the pit
of my stomach. i want forever.
& our midnight conversations still mean
everything to me.
& all you can do is just watch me go.
drift apart from someone you once had
the time of your life with.
it's what you suspect that screws everything up.
i think we like it that way. never knowing
what might happen from one day to
the next. i think that`s why we can't
ever let each other go.
& pulled me closer.
it didn't feel weird or crossing any lines.
it made sense, it just felt right.
with who you are and who you've been. the only thing i wish you
could see is what you really could be. your past doesn't make
you decide who you are. & i know you're not sorry,
but i've forgiven you.
like she was the gas station, no one ever visited unless their
tank was coming up on empty. yeah, there were days when she
hated him, and there were days when she was head over heels
too. but none of those days mattered because she could never
have him no matter how hard she fell.
long for cigarettes, or weed, or alcohol so badly that it hurt.
until i met you. now i know how it feels to be 100% relient
on some kind of substance that will never satisfy me.
like to recapture what we once had. and how can we do that if
you’re not here. so, i’m asking you, please stay.
that we had something in common. a
natural chemistry, if you will. & i had
a feeling that something big was going to
happen. to both of us. that we were, in
fact, meant to be together.
yours and my head is on your chest listening
to your heartbeat. it makes me feel safe, like
at that moment, nothing bad can touch me
to live again, or we will never remember today.
