73 reasons why. you gave me 73 reasons why. then added one.
74 reasons why. you gave me 74 reasons why.
I destroyed all of them. every single reason has diminished. I gradually poured gasoline on every single one of them, then threw a lit match in your face.
the night is coming to an end. the full moon has risen. and I’m stuck here wishing, hoping I can be myself again.
I’m not saying sorry. I’m simply letting you know. closure.
before you I never let anyone in. you waltzed right in like it was nothing. for you, my door was open.
I can’t say why. I’m baffled, even still in disbelief, this actually happened.
forever will I treasure and cherish these moments. you were mine. it was magnificent.
like a fairytale book written strictly for our time together. well, dear, our time has run out.
twelve o’clock has come upon us.
I left you at the ball. alone and confused. hurt and shut down.
sitting on those red velvet steps, a glass slipper caught your eye.
this isn’t a fairytale anymore. that isn’t my glass slipper. I am no longer your princess.
it’s a new journey for you. find your princess.
give her 74 reasons why.
and she’ll give you 74 right back.
