just the way you looked at me that one time by the swing set, do you remember? i always go back to that moment because that’s when we both landed on a page i swore we’d be on forever. “what?” “nothing.” it’s funny how some things change and others don’t. after a while i’d be the one looking at you but you wouldn’t tell. you won’t. oh tell me, please, i want to know, let me soak up your pain, let me feel it too. i can heal you, i can fix you, you have to know i’d never judge you. “nothing.” you looked at me that first time and i swear you could see my soul shining like a ball of light in your hands like this was destined to make you whole. that’s the first time you ever saw anyone and the last time it would be the way it was when i was yours and you belonged to me. “what?” i wouldn’t have drowned you, love i wouldn’t have extinguished a thing but instead of what i gave, all i got was “nothing.”
