i had almost forgotten
what it felt like
to not want to die

so if i cannot thank you for anything else
at least let me thank you
for that.

do you ever wonder
why people don't smile
at you? people tell me
I'm intimidating but
always take advantage
of my kindness once
they know I'm not
a threat.

you had always
kept your
**** together
when you felt like
falling apart, and i

i want to be brave like
that.

if i had control over
your heart, i would not
fall in love just yet

you don't know how much
i hate walking with you
because you keep noticing
how other girls walk
and i can hear it from
your voice that you wish
you  were walking with
them instead

but sometimes our
fingers brush against
each other and for 5
seconds they linger

if i had control over
your heart


but i do not

i know we are better
as friends but that
information hasn't
quite reached my heart
just yet

so when i tell you
"i love you"
i am not telling you to
"please love me too"

it's more of like
"please wait for the right
person. make sure she's worth
it. make sure my heart
breaks for something bigger
than i could ever wish for.
make sure i don't lose you over
nothing."

I remember we once
watched a lifetime movie
and someone slept with
someone, but it wasn't
the right person, (it was
dark) (and unrealistic)
I asked you how you
would be able to tell
it was me in a dark room
and you thought for a
moment and then said

well I'd look for the scar on your
back


and I was confused because there
was no scar on my back. But you
pulled my hand and placed it there
and there it was. No wider than a
dime.

And you smiled again and said
that's how you'd know it was me.
