February 14th is the day that a large portion of the world celebrates love
It's been over a month since I last felt your heartbeat, since I last saw your smile, and I wish I could say I'm forgetting what it sounded like, what it looked like... But I'm not
I'm terrified to think what if, because what if I wasn't supposed to lose you, because when I hold you, we are so high the stars aim to fall among us
we are astral, you coated my lips in stardust you celestial angel
I'm a coward, I am a Leo, but apparently I'm the cowardly lion with no Dorothy to help me, because what if I love you...
I don't wanna love you, we were a sandcastle, we spent some time to build this amazing thing but we didn't bothering building it out of something that lasts, I just wish we built it on the ocean instead of a sandbox that way the ocean, could wash it away until there was no sign of it at all
But your etched into my brain because when I think of you, and the problems your going through it kills me, I wish I could take you in my arms and have your tears fall on the paper of my skin, writing the story that binds my heart, and the only one who can read it is you
You set up camp in my mind, and seem to want to stay, and I can't force you out so I guess your not gonna leave so I should get used to carrying your burdens in my mind
I just want you to know that I'm not sure how much longer I can do this, I can feel my heart trembling, it can't seem to support me any longer, with everybeat it is in denial, and I guess so am I, it seems it would rather flatline, than be in love with a person that forgot it's rhythm
Spoken word notes that I wrote down thinking about an ex of mine
