So, that's it then? I just hand my heart to you and get it back broken?
I...

I know that I shouldn't
But I still do
I love you

How did we end up like this? When did things change and turn into these empty conversations & broken promises? Why did you let everything we ever built come crashing down in seconds? Since when did you decide to walk away and leave me here without an explanation? Leaving me here to second guess myself & every choice I've ever made? Why would you be so oblivious to everything I ever told you? I never lied when I told you how I felt so why would you pretend it didn't happen? How could you run away as soon as things got complicated, just pack up and leave? How could you this to me?

We're almost touching.
we were walking side by side,
you're talking about cabs in your hometown.
I can feel the gravity of your hand, calling my fingers
whispering "it's alright."

We're touching but not quite.
you held my shoulder to protect me from the passing cars.
and for the first time in a long while, I felt so fragile.
In this world where I find it hard even to breathe,
you believed me.

I almost said it.
All I need is one ounce of strength to tell you every single thing that I have ever felt about you.

I want to find home in your collarbones.
Would you be kind enough to let a stranger in?
I want to seep in your being because I'm cold.
The world is harsh and my cracks are aching.

Almost.
Please don't ever become a stranger,
whose laugh I can recognize anywhere.
