sometimes
-more times than it used to be
it feels like when you say goodnight
is an escape you use
to rip yourself away from me
but without causing any damage
because goodnight is sacred.
its sweet, its i love you.
its have a safe night.
sleep as much as you can
because sleep is nice and beautiful
and so are you.
goodnight
shouldnt make me feel so sad
its because you're leaving
and im not done
its because the minutes between your responses
are longer than they used to be
and the responses are shorter than they used to be
your one word is so small
and so not enough
i want more from you
do i want too much?
mabye you dont have enough to give.
do i always ask too much?
mabye you're just trying to live.
tell me the truth
in more than one word.
tell me the truth.
id hoped youd thought more of me
than to just pass by with an "im fine"
