my heart aches for jealous souls
i wish that you stopped wanting what i had
i wish what you had was enough for you
because what you don't realize
if your own life isn't good enough for you
how could mine ever be?
i'm sorry it's hard for me to trust people
i'm sorry that sometimes i think i can do it best
it's just that when you've been let down
so
many
times
it's hard to put faith in those who have the same capability
of letting you down
again
i am my own biggest fan
i will not stop liking myself less
just so i can start liking you more
that's not how it works
it's ironic that you wiped my tears away the second i needed you
but the second you were the cause of my tears
you were nowhere to be seen.
sometimes my brain moves in fast motion
my hand is a couples paces behind
my body struggles to keep up
as the words and thoughts crowd my brain
i'm trying to keep up
i can't keep up
why do i need to keep up
3  hours and 30 minutes.
that is the closest distance i've ever lived to someone i've kissed.
i long for the day that
3 hours and 30 minutes
is the farthest distance i have to survive.
i'm tired of expiration dates.
i don't want to have to throw a relationship away
as quick as expired milk in the fridge.
i'm worth more than milk.
treat me like i'm more than milk.
i'm not sure who i miss more
you
or
the person i was before i met you
