late at night, i lie awake
thinking of things i should have said
all the mistakes i've made
and signs i should've read
then think about what i can't live without
you, front and center in my mind
sometimes it feels like halfway love
almost, but not quite
still, parts of you make me whole
who i am and who i need to be
i think of love letters that weren't torn up
feelings of blue and green
when i'm without you
blank page, artless innocence
i realize how dependent i've grown to you
and feel the need to create a distance
sometimes i look up at the purple sky
and wonder if you're looking too
i gaze at the colors and the beauty of it all
though its beauty would never compare to you
