stubborn

i don't sleep very often.

but i dream all the time.

like a clinging infection,

you've latched on to my mind.

and i don't know how to break you.

you're a habit that's just so familiar.

i've never been one for addictions

until you waltzed your way into the picture.

 

--All this time i've been on my hands and knees praying for you to set me free so i could operate on my own again. little did i know that you were never holding on and all i have to do is let go to move on. It's all i have to do, it's all i have to do. i havent done it yet maybe because id on't know that i want to.

 

-i don't cry very often,

but i'm sad all the time.

happiness is such a simple disguise.

and everything keeps changing every time i blink by eyes.

and i know i can't just make time stop, everything changes in time.

but i just want to put a hold on everything so i can hold your hand for one more moment before something changes that pushes you away.

 

-this moment here is right. i can look into your eyes and know that i have someone who knows me the way i want someone to know me. all the bad and all the good. you know it all and you understood. how can i live knowing that tomorrow i could be the only one who knows myself again.
