now i'm three hundred miles away from you
sitting alone under a tree
watching the quiet stars blink out your name
wishing the wind wasn't so cold

is it strange
that when i think of home
i only think
of you?

we look up at the same night sky

but we see different things now

i wonder if
the stars changed their minds
about us

if only you loved me
the same way
i love the stars
even when
they don't shine
especially when
they lead me to you

today was my first day of classes
but everything reminded me of you
I think about you all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't want to

how do i sate
the ravenous butterflies
when all they want
is you?

i'm sorry i don't always
say the right thing

...

everything's fine

everything is okay

when i'm with you

you have all the power over me

Hey.
It's been a while since I last talked to you
(more like a year)

Well anyways
I just wanted to let you know that I still think of you.
(all the time)
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you.
Quite frankly, I'm not even sure if you remember me
but that's all right.

(People never remember me.)

So you see,
the reason I'm trying to send you this crummy Facebook message is because I hear you're going through some stuff
and that you're hurting.
I know what that's like, you know?
For me it happened when you were still here,
but you never noticed.
Again, that's okay
I'm just stating some observations.

I hope that you feel better.
I hope that it doesn't take you as long to smile like it did for me.
I hope you find another silly crush like I had on you.
I hope you see your family again,
not just from the pictures you see on Facebook.
I hope you find a reason to live again.

I'm not sad anymore,
but I'm not happy either.
I hope your life is full of everything you want it to be.
I hope you find your reason to live.
