We are the ones who are hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre
because the ending scene made us cry
We'll stop to smell the roses
because they deserve to be appreciated
We are the ones who will take the time
to learn what keeps you up at night
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us love

We are the ones who will love you more
than we love ourselves
We will give you our strongest parts
in hopes that we can make things better
We desire to see you become the best you
to make sure that you always feel our love
We crave affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away every day
sometimes to people who don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we give away

When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves back together
We are more fragile than we like to give off
We carry our emotions on our sleeves
Our flaws have the ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the world
but we are afraid to feel unloved
We want you to see what we see
We want you to understand where we're coming from

We are good people with good intentions
We are stronger than we believe
Not everyone can feel the way we feel
We feel too much, too often
We are not hard to love
We are something not everyone knows how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you

You are not any less lovable
You are the most lovable person in the world
You are a light that the world needs
Your kindness is not your weakness
You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to stop giving love
just because you don't get any back
Your heart is the best thing about you

And one day when you least expect it
someone will notice you from across the room
and know exactly how to love you
They will think all of these things are beautiful
They will deserve the love you can give
They will fill the empty space in your heart
But for now, don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love

i am over you

head over heals
or over your existence

depends

s.s

You're up in your head
Thinking about him thinking about you thinking about all the things you could have said
Second guessing
Over and over
All the decisions you made
Questioning if this is all worth the struggle
Maybe you should just give in and call him over

But he ain’t thinking about you like that
He’s driving to work, calling his friends, and making sure he’s got the best **** football stats
You’re twirling inside your own head
Reminiscing all of those memories
So hard to forget all those long long nights
But at the end of the day just remember
Losing time over him is just another mistake

Up till 11 PM tossing and turning
Wondering what he’s doing now
Getting mad at your self
It’s been so long why does he keep creeping back in
When the loneliness keeps you up like that
And all you want to do is curl on up
Tell yourself

He ain’t think about you like that
He’s talking to his mama, shooting hoops, and wondering if his lunch break is coming round soon
You’re twirling inside your own head
Reminiscing all of those memories
So hard to forget all those long long nights
But at the end of the day just remember
Losing time over him is just another mistake

But what’s worse
Whatcha can’t get out of your head
What if all those memories that you can’t undo that just creep on up in the middle of the afternoon
What if the kisses, the smiles, the tears, and the sweet helloes are all gone to waste
What keeps me up and up and up
What if he’s thinking about someone else

Cause he ain’t think about me like that
He’s ain’t talking to me about his mama, his friends, or his long *** day
He's twirling inside my head
Reminiscing all of those memories
So hard to forget all those long long nights
But at the end of the day just remember
Losing time over him is just another mistake

I gave you all my love
I gave you all of me
And it still wasn't enough

But I,
I am enough
And you,
Will never convince me otherwise

"But what if we're wrong?"
It was silent
But her thoughts echoed around in my head as we laid on top of her pickup truck
I swatted at the eighteenth mosquito chewing on my leg
I don't want this to be love

We were tangled up in the acoustic music they play on the radio on Sunday mornings
She was trying to dream up something clever to write about
And I was pretending I could learn to play guitar through osmosis,
As if blending myself in with the harmonies, finding her in every lyric, and sheer willpower would give me wings or at least magic guitar hands

She set the alarm, checked it over and over
She was not going to be late for her first day
I told her I'd be asleep when she got home, she told me she knew
I told her to wake me up

I wasn't looking for perfect
Perfect really only applies in first year physics courses
After that, we learn to fall in love with "rough around the edges" or "unique" or "unfinished"
As if their life is a puzzle that we need to complete
Just so you know, it isn't

She bought me breakfast and dropped me off
She used to tell me she loved me, but I know she didn't
She does now, so she doesn't have to say it anymore
When I said, "love," before, I didn't really mean it
Not like I mean loving the garden on the balcony of her apartment or thunderstorms in May
Even if I was a puzzle that she completed (and I'm not saying that I am), we didn't need any glue to fit perfectly
