Once, I wanted to give Thirteen Reasons Why And bury myself While I was totally alive Six feet under the ground Once, I tried to step Out the window, Just To feel myself fall Through thin air Only to smack On the cement below Once, I failed to lift A simple weight Even an inch Above my chest Before it cracked My collar bone. Once, I broke Thought it was ending Told them to grab The bullets Fire at will And once, I asked a boy To take my hand Spin me around for A short dance Then, I promised myself Never turn into One of those poets Writing dedications Again and again to them Because by the end They became jokes Once, I told someone I never wanted to fall in love Over and over and over again Because they said I'm never going to be good enough But once, I never said This was a love poem Maybe it's an appreciation one Cause once, I asked you to dance And for some reason You decided to say yes Thanks for that And for now, Thanks for everything we've become Let's take this journey longer Go for all the risks Make these memories last Once, I want to hold on And never let go.

Once
Once, I wanted to give Thirteen Reasons Why And bury myself While I was totally alive Six feet under the ground Once, I tried to step Out the window, Just To feel myself fall Through thin air Only to smack On the cement below Once, I failed to lift A simple weight Even an inch Above my chest Before it cracked My collar bone. Once, I broke Thought it was ending Told them to grab The bullets Fire at will And once, I asked a boy To take my hand Spin me around for A short dance Then, I promised myself Never turn into One of those poets Writing dedications Again and again to them Because by the end They became jokes Once, I told someone I never wanted to fall in love Over and over and over again Because they said I'm never going to be good enough But once, I never said This was a love poem Maybe it's an appreciation one Cause once, I asked you to dance And for some reason You decided to say yes Thanks for that And for now, Thanks for everything we've become Let's take this journey longer Go for all the risks Make these memories last Once, I want to hold on And never let go.
