A dreamI had a dream about you last night. / You held me tightly and lifted me up, / while I wrapped my legs around you.

Close enoughI just wanted you to know / I never had any desire / to take care of another living thing

Hardest part of letting goThe hardest part of all of this is that you were not just the first person I was in love with, but the first thing I've ever loved at all. I think everyone needs to love something to be happy in life, and some people love their jobs, or school, or their home, or even themselves, but for me it was only you, and I don't know what to do now. I keep having dreams of people asking for my commitment and in those dreams the first thing I think about is when and how I will leave them. I keep having flashbacks to that evening we had dinner at the European brewery. You were joking about how if we ever broke up I would spend the rest of my life trying to replace you but I would never succeed. What if you were right? What if you were it? What if I am never able to love anyone else again?

I couldn't staySomething about the way you held me, / It made me feel safe and calm for the first time in my life. / Like if you held me tightly enough, I would stop falling apart.

I don't know how to stayI could never stop thinking about how things will end long enough to even let them begin. / Every time I climbed through the hole in your fence, I couldn't stop thinking of how I would feel on the day I stop trying to squeeze through. / I could never kiss you, run my fingers across your skin, tangle my body in yours without wondering if that's the last time I ever will.

KarmaAnd maybe the reason I flinch / every time you tell me you love me / is because of all the times I didn't even blink my eyes when I said "I love you" without feeling a goddamn thing.

Let me love youI want to hold you tightly as you talk about your past. / I want to kiss every bruise, cut, scar on your body. / I want to tell you that everything will be okay.

New PlaceThe caption of your most recent picture says "new place", / which is true since your new apartment is in the background. / But I keep wondering if you mean you're in a new place in a bigger sense,
