Sat sipping whiskey at 3am
Because it reminds me of you
As I remember
Your smile
Your taste
Your tongue
I realise this is not the bourbon I crave
That can only be found on your lips
sweetened by your kiss.

She's the kind of girl you fall in love with
and have no clue why
before you know it
a day without her seems unbearable
and you'll find yourself saying "I think i love you"
You'll find yourself in auto pilot driving to her house
at 4 a.m
feelings you never thought was possible surfaces
then suddenly
things wont "Aren't working out"
your bones will ache
even months laters when someone says her name

as a daughter
she sacrifices
her first love
to see you smile

as a sister
she sacrifices
her chocolate
so that you
would be happy

as a girlfriend
she sacrifices
her close friend
so that she could
spend time
with you

as a wife
she sacrifices
her freedom
so that she could
help you

as a mother
she sacrifices
her sleep
so that you could
sleep in peace

as a mother-in-law
she sacrifices
her own daughter
so that you live
a happy life

i remember the mornings when you would go out of your way to talk to me even for a short while
i remember the 'what's wrong's falling out of your mouth each time i grew quiet
i remember your curiosity over the words i wrote in my notebooks
i remember you trying to fix the problems i had for me
you were always pushing me to be better

but here we are with my ignorance and your arrogance
gone was the sweet guy i met
gone was the naive girl you met
and with that come the silence that is slowly deafening me

but all of the heartache i feel now
cannot compare with all the happiness you gave me
i'm not okay now, but soon i will be
