The water in your well is all my toxic love for you

The other well is clean hydrating water

And while I need to stay hydrated

Something about that toxic water

Is just so addictive.

I've been stupid now thirteen long years

I've been stupid since the moment we met

The moment I saw you

And I fell in stupid love

Nothing else really mattered in comparison

You were my oxygen

And even now that I've learned to live without you, you're still my heart beat

And here I am trying to stop my heart

Anything to stop being stupid

You taught me I could be addicted to a person

But there's never been a patch for you

Four years in withdrawal

Not a single hit

And here I am

Still stupid

Still missing you.

I loved you in a thousand ways

Then everything changed

And I still loved you in hundreds of ways

Some love just can't be erased.

You can still find me in the halls and streets where we fell in love

This place haunts me almost as much as you haunt my dreams

And yet I will never leave

This is home

Just like you once were.

A love like that?

True love for someone

It doesn't just fade away

It doesn't slowly turn to hate

It sits there at the back of your heart

And all you can do is acknowledge it

And hope it's never front and center again.

Your name still echoes in my mind

And your shadow still lurks around the corner

And no matter how much I wash my hands

I'll never be free of you.
