Even though it was civil,
We understood
We acknowledged
We listened
She listened.
It never makes it easier.

I'll cherish our memories.
I hope we make new ones.
I broke up with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen today. And inside it kind of killed me.

Having s a crush on someone is like a mosquito bite:
You don't know when exactly you got it,
It's only really annoying to you,
You pick at it so it gets worse.

It's beautiful that I know what you'd say, even when you aren't around.
Because we used to do that together.

I need to find something that is new.
Save yourself, before you drown. or you wish you did.

Every night I'd read "Text me tomorrow."
As if I had to be told.

Now there is no tomorrow.
And all I want is yesterday.

Yesterday there were fights,
But for something.
Yesterday there was bitterness,
But for something.
Yesterday I knew something,
But today I no longer.
Next week is this weekends tomorrow. Nothing ever changes and time is only how we view it. I see time differently than you.

Is love when you want the other person to be with someone better than you?
A few letters go a long way.
And short passages are a favorite in my opinion

The tea kettle whistles,
but you don't.

You're boiling inside,
Screaming.
But you won't.

All the unsaid words,
All the unwritten letters.
Every memory, condensed.


Come find one of us,
We'll scream with you.
Doing this helps, and I want to help you.
No one should feel this way.

Just tell her she deserves to be happy.
She does.
You just need to believe it.
Even if it isn't with you.
