The weight
of a simple human emotion
weighs me down,
more than a tank ever did
...
the pain
its determined and demanding
to ache
, but im OK
...

In the darkness and confusion that surround me
I play the song over and over again
because I too
have know found the fault in our stars...
the same stars you watched with me
when you laid next to me
on the cold and merciless brick driveway

The chorus starts playing
and with every note, nostalgia
suffocates my soul in memories
and my heart beats the lyrics in Morse-code

...
And I don't want to let this go
I don't want to lose control
I just want to see the stars
, with you
...

over and over I listen to the words
that seem to be pouring out of my heart
with more belief and ambition
then through the little speaker in my phone

...
And I don't want to say good-bey
someone, tell me why
I just want to see the stars
, with you*
...

the moon is gone
the stars twinkle brightly
they give me hope that one day you'll return
, to see them with me
to make them shine brighter...

but until then, i'll just listen
to the song...

until then,
I ache

until then,
i AM NOT OKAY

until then i'll lay in the driveway and wait...
wait for you to come lay next to me

as you once did...
as it should be
The italic print is lyrics for the song "The fault in our stars" by Troye Sivan... A beautiful song, but never the less, one that I don't own
