I've forgotten
How many times you forgot
You said you were bringing flowers
Only to walk through my door empty handed
But good intentions and your convincing kiss made me forget
How all I ever wanted was for you to bring me flowers

(I've grown a garden in your absence. They give me hope that someday someone will love me enough to not forget)

People will tell you not to fight for love
They will say things like "set it free and if it's yours it will come back to you"
Or "if you have to fight for love then it's already over"
And "you deserve better than having to fight for someone who doesn't appreciate you"

But these things are not right
Love knows no boundaries
Sometimes people need to be fought for
Life is distracting and has a tendency of keeping us from listening to our hearts

So fight
Pour your entire soul into reminding them of the love that has been shared between your intertwined souls
And if then
They still don't remember of the magic of your smile
You can let go
And you will not be burdened with any regret
Because you fought
You gave it your all

*And if they are willing to walk away from someone who loves them enough to fight for them
Then they were never ready for your love
And there's nothing wrong with you
The tragedy rests solely on them

My family's worried about me
They said I'm sleeping all the time
They ask me if I'm depressed

But I don't know how to tell them
You only visit me in my dreams
And I can only taste your lips
When I'm fast asleep

Our hearts were made for each other

Unfortunately our minds had a tendency to get distracted
And our bodies surrendered easily to the loneliness

Am I the only one that finds tragedy
In the difference between
"Where are you?"
And
"Where were you?"

I wish that I could hate you
But unfortunately
I love you too much to do that
And yes,
You failed in a lot of ways
But you were also wonderful to me in a lot of ways

You loved me too good to ever hate you

We found each other again in my dreams
I guess my heart's still missing you
I still know every detail of your kind face
I know every tone of your soothing voice
I guess my heart just can't give up the hope that we're still meant to be

Time will only tell
If fate will bring you back to me

Hold me a little tighter
Love me a little longer
Maybe then this sinking feeling in my chest
Won't drown the possibility that you still love me

Kiss me a little sweeter
Want me a little more
Maybe then I could stay afloat
In this sea of doubt

You were my
"All or nothing"
Love

I gave you my all
And you left me with nothing

Does she know that the shirt she's taking off of you
You kissed me for getting it for you?

I could write you a million metaphors to explain who he was to me
But if I'm being honest
There's only one that does him justice

He is the sadness you feel when you love someone so much that even though they are breaking your heart
All you can do is look at them through blurry eyes and say
"No, I'm so happy for you"
And hope that your smile is enough to convince them that you will stop loving them one day

To His New Lover,

I have only heard whispers about you and seen glimpses of you in pictures
The one thing I know is that you and I are very different
And I hope that means something good
That maybe you bring out the man in him I never could

I hope he tells you you're beautiful every day even though you don't need to hear it but because you deserve it
I hope he never forgets to buy you flowers because he would do anything to see that smile spread across your face
I hope he holds you more than he makes love to you so that you always know he loves you for your soul and not for your body
I hope that when you fight, he fights for you instead of you having to convince him to stay
I hope that all the promises he makes and the dreams you build together you get to see manifest

I hope that there is never a day that you have to doubt his love because he is committed to showing you every second you're together how priceless your presence is to him

I hope you are everything to him that I couldn't be, that he wouldn't let me be, that I didn't know how to be.
I hope that your love is enough.

Sincerely,
The Girl who Loved Him First

A song from 7 years ago
Started playing on the radio
And without even realizing it
I was singing all the words

I wonder if we're like that song
No matter how many years pass between us
I will still know all the words to the song of your body
And be able to sing along
