May 2013
you caused me the greatest pain i have ever known by leaving.
yet the thought of you returning to me is more beautiful than any dream i can imagine.
my heart aches and breaks for you.
but i think i’ll miss you forever
like the sun misses the stars in the morning skies.
sometimes we meet somebody who’s iridescent
and nobody else can compare.
i guess i accepted what i though i deserved.
it’s like i’m drowning, but i can see everybody else breathing.
this summer is just a blur of all the perfect nights we spent together.
now from friends to lovers to absolutely nothing,
but complete strangers who were once very much in love with one another.
and i think about the last time i saw you. all the time.
yes, i’m drunk. but you’re beautiful.
and tomorrow morning i’ll be sober,
but you’ll still be beautiful.
