'loving you was not the mistake
letting me love you was'

tensed

i never knew
how much
i'd hate
the past

like how
'i love the way
you look at me'

sounded better than
'i loved the way
you looked at me'

let's burn

'
our love was a candle
that burned out a long time ago

but the wax just melted
and did not disappear

so let's mold a new candle
from the remains that melted;
let it burn again and again
so we'll feel the warmth
of love all over again

good night

i want to be the blanket
that keeps you warm at night
but it seems
i'm the cold air
that makes you cover up tight

you held my hand
like it was your own;
and for once,
i never wanted
to let go

stay

"Why do you stay,
                 if they won't for you?"

"No one ever stayed for me,
                 and maybe at some point,
                                    no one stayed for them.
                                                    And maybe if i do,
                                                                they'll change their mind"

i wanted to swim
in your thoughts
but i failed to notice
that you were
drowning
in them
