relationships
that late night drive,
make me a mixtape,
talk till 3am, stay up too late,
lay at the foot of your bed,
tell me what’s inside your head,
wander my way through all the wonderful
ways of who you are,
kind of love

when they
are meant to love you,
they would have to fight it to not feel it…
it will be in their stars

who will give her all the
love you withheld from her…
and she will find him

i finally stopped waiting…
waiting for him to feel sorry, to feel regret,
to feel guilty, to realize how much he had lost
in me and to feel some certain way for all
that he had done to me
i finally understood…
it really never had anything to do with me.
someone who is capable of all
that he had done was just never capable
of feeling anything at all.

never be ashamed
of how deeply and passionately
you loved someone who destroyed you,
because destroying things is just who they are…
but loving things deeply and passionately
is who you are

illusions…
i spent all that time
haunted by the ghost of
someone you never really were

forever trying
to reconcile a hopelessly
romantic heart and a fiercely
independent soul

it was the way
you just let me breathe here.
and just be here.
you didn’t ask
anything else of me.
not to tangle in your weaknesses
or to heal your wounds.
you just asked me to know you…
to just know you.
to let it all be unheavy,
here next to you…
and just wonder of our dreams in
the glow of the moon.

pause
breathe
be here with me,
it’s all i want,
it’s all i need,
just this.
