Can you keep a secret?
I am breaking
I am breaking every single day
I smile and laugh and love life when I'm around people
Then I go home and feel so alone.

I don't have June and the rafts and battleship
I don't have July and the sweet stars and music
And I don't even have August and the water.

Summer died a long time ago
Now it is February and I am broken.
We'll drive
Stare out the window
And sing
to each other
Eat terrible food
and laugh
with one another
Gallivant around antique shops
and dream
of life together.

We'll reach the final destination
throw our suitcases
on the bed of our
cheap motel
and kiss passionately
wherever.
I remember
Everytime you laughed at the stupidest thoughts
Your joy was so contagious
I laughed from what your happiness brought

I remember
Whenever you held me tight in your arms
I never wanted to leave
Your embrace protected me from all harm

I remember
The last time you caused me to cry
You breathed your last breath
It was the last time I said goodbye
Love.
Heartbreak.
Love.
Heartbreak.

The same story
Occurred a million
(And one)
Times in just
One year.

I rise,
And fall.
Rise,
And fall.

I feel like
My heart is
Full
Of
Dust.

Did I get it
Broken
Too
Many
Times?

I love
Too easily.
I trust
Too much.
I forgive
Too quickly.

Just for
A moment
I feel
Alone.

Then I get
Up
Off
Of
The
Ground,
And I
Sing,
And laugh,
And just
Remember
Who I am.

I'm
Special.

God
Made
Me
That
Way.

I remember that
He
Loves me.

That's all
That I
Need.

— The End —
