maybe one day it'll be different
my heart won't shatter
when i hear your name
and my brain won't run
a million miles a minute

maybe one day it'll be different
i'll stand taller
i'll walk prouder
i'll forget you ever happened

maybe one day it'll be different
i'll forget your name ever broke me
or your voice ever shattered me
or that you were ever there at all

tangled up with you
and i forget
where i begin
and you end

i am but a blip
on this timeline
but you make me feel
like i'm the entire thing

to you
you never made it up to me
but to me
you did it in so many ways

when you let me play my music
on the way to your grandparents

when we start to walk through the same door
and you always let me go

when we begin talking at the same time
and you always let me tell my story
even if i forget what it was
or laugh half way through
or even cry

when I said no gifts on my birthday
and you still showed up with one

when i was trying to tell everyone a story
and you made sure i knew you were listening
even when no one else was

to you
you never made it up to me
but to me
maybe i need to make up some things
for you
A few months ago, you told me you'd make it all up. Little did you know, you already had, even if you didn't need to.

we make plans
for forever
when i know
we won't
make it
past
tomorrow

​i love you
but you'll never look at me
like you look at her
or your guitar
or your nephew
but i will learn to love myself
like i've done before
and look at myself
the way i wanted you to

it's complicated
i tell her
as i grip on to
the same coffee cup
i've been drinking from
for 2 weeks straight
because i wake up tired
because i don't sleep
because it's not complicated
that you just don't love me
