sometimes falling for someone is like sky-diving, and sometimes it’s like jumping off golden gate bridge. sometimes falling for someone is like sky-diving without a parachute and still expecting to land on your feet, sometimes falling for someone is like jumping off the golden gate bridge and wishing you could climb back up in the split second before you hit the ground. see, you and me, we’re a little like my teeth; all the things i let get just a bit crooked because i didn't try hard enough to keep them in place. i think there's a metaphor somewhere in there. i think there's a metaphor in everything if i look hard enough. but the thing is, life isn't poetry. it doesn't always have an overarching meaning and message. and not everything makes sense in stanzas if you unscramble it. so i think the biggest lie i’ve ever heard about love is that it sets you free. but in the same breath our heartbeats sync up like all those people who made love look so easy, so simple. you are a home i don't know how to find my way back to, and i know you can’t make rest-stops into safe havens and i know if you’re going to try to make homes out of people then you can’t be surprised when your house falls apart and you have to move away. but you, you were good at making hotels feel like homes. you were good at making things like open roads and bedsheets and stolen moments feel like they belonged to us. like that twin bed and the two of us with our feet are tangled and our wires are crossed. we were always spilling over the edges. you never fit into any part of my life, but you still squeezed. and not in a bad way, maybe more of a i'm mad at you for finding all this extra space in me i never knew was there until you and then having the nerve to leave it empty. so i guess i don't really miss people, i just miss the spaces they leave behind. the cracks in my pavement. and god, what a dangerous thing to think that someone else can make you whole. and god, what a dangerous thing to think that someone else can save you from yourself.
