if your mind’s troubled by the emptiness
remember who you are, don’t you ever settle for less

when i told her
i wasn't ready
all i could say
was i'm sorry
when will i stop
having to apologize
for how i'm feeling
the worst part is
i am sorry
i feel guilty
i wish i was ready
for something new
but i'm not
and it is not because
i don't like you
i really do
but i have been hurt
and i am not willing
to do the same to you

it felt good
to feel wanted
and feel beautiful
and feel good enough
and feel confident
it feels good
for you
to not be
the last person i kissed
