i read all our old text messages
first i laughed.
then i cried.

it's 2 AM
you're sleeping
i'm smoking
thinking of how you broke me

so maybe if i float around in the ocean
i can drown in something
other than my thoughts.

if you can be my stars,
i'll be your sky.
if you can be my sun,
i'll be your moon.
if you can be my ocean,
i'll be your waves.

i wasn't even looking when i found you,
you just snuck up on me.
i wasn't even asking when the universe sent you,
like magic you were suddenly part of my world.
i wasn't even aware that you were exactly what i wanted,
needed.
now
it's been 16 years
you're still here
still magic
i still find peace in you,
comfort.
love.
you still make me smile,
laugh.
love.
it's been 16 years
and i don't want anyone else
i want you
still.
i need you,
still.
LOVE.

living inside my head
is a constant struggle for

it's like laying on a bed of

trying to rip them out one by one
before they strangle you in your
