there is a difference in getting butterflies
and the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach

you gave me the second

you should smile so much your cheeks hurt
not have stress headaches

i was taking 10 ibuprofen each day

the future should be exciting and full of possibilities

but with you, every coming day terrified me

i'm sorry i didn't realize earlier
how much i was hurting you
or how much you were hurting me

i'm sorry i fell out of love with you
but i'm more sorry
that i couldn't save you from yourself
