Back then I tried to clean out my heart like it was a closet I’d been filling with bad ideas and painful regrets.
But the memories of us were too heavy to throw away.
So I just pushed them all aside.
And every time I looked to my heart for guidance all I could hear was your name in its beat.
So I couldn’t even breathe without you.
And maybe we fell apart back then so we had a chance to rebuild our foundations.
And now I’ll never let them crack.
It’s as though you climbed my heart like a mountain and left a flag as a reminder of what I’d be missing when you were gone.
And I missed you.
You left a draft in my ribcage when you stole my heart and I’m only just getting used to the warmth of its return.
Every day there was a flashback of what we used to be.
Every night there was a dream of what I wanted us to be.
Now I wake up in the morning and I see what we’ve become.
We fell apart so we could fall back together.
And I did fall.
My love for you is deeper than the Mariana Trench.
And even if you could swim that deep into my love for you, you’d never understand just how much.
Back then I didn’t believe in fate.
But now you make me believe in anything.  
In everything.
