going home from his place, yet my mind isn’t calm and my heart doesn’t feel safe. how can i touch him when all i crave is your touch? how can i show affection when it feels like betrayal? my heart doesn’t want to get out of your cage, even when you opened the door to set it free. i can’t let go of the love i felt from you. how much longer can i try to feel love from this guy? months have passed, yet it feels like yesterday — us two in the seats of your car, with a promise of meeting again we both knew you weren’t going to keep. you’re not here. he is holding me warm, yet i keep reaching for you, but he’s all i grab onto.

reaching for you
going home from his place, yet my mind isn’t calm and my heart doesn’t feel safe. how can i touch him when all i crave is your touch? how can i show affection when it feels like betrayal? my heart doesn’t want to get out of your cage, even when you opened the door to set it free. i can’t let go of the love i felt from you. how much longer can i try to feel love from this guy? months have passed, yet it feels like yesterday — us two in the seats of your car, with a promise of meeting again we both knew you weren’t going to keep. you’re not here. he is holding me warm, yet i keep reaching for you, but he’s all i grab onto.
