I am not perfect,
I can be seen as a failure
or even as a disappointment,
but I don’t need you to “fix” me.

I don't know why you love me.
I am the most annoying person on our
        planet.
How can you love someone like me?

I have more baggage than a person should.
I have more energy than should be
        attainable.
I don't know when to stop,
or I stop too early.

I trust too much,
and I trust too little.
There is never an in between with me.

I don't know why you love me,
and in this poem I tried to find my answer,
tried to hear your voice say it in my head,
and I could hear it,
I just don't know why you said it.

I'm a brat and I know it,
no need to tell me twice.

I overreact and I'm aware of it,
no need to shout it in my face.

You are the Mickey to my Minnie,
the Prince Charming to my Cinderella.

You're there for me always,
so I'm never alone.

You smile to me,
and show me the way to go.

You are the Ben to my Leslie,
the Eric to my Ariel.

I know you'll always be there for me,
to smile to me so I can smile too.

If I had known saying goodbye
would be this difficult,
I would have packed
myself in his suitcase.

I just wish that hug never
ended, that he'd still
be holding me in his arms.

When he held my hands,
then tried to pull away,
I only held his hands tighter,
and followed him,
until he could move no more.

I just wish —
I only wish —
I wish he was holding me,
I just want to be holding him.

My face is covered in salt

because of you.

If love never dies,

then what you had for me

was never love.

I'll see you once more,

call it quits.

The best part of this

is being able

to make a happy song

sad.

Choosing

to get to

know you

was the

biggest

mistake

I've made

in my life.

God tried to warn me,

and the devil tricked me.

Tears in the shower

caused by a friend,

would rather die

than be hurt again.
