Untitled

It's late

Almost midnight

Your eyes are sealed and sleeping not far from mine

on my mind

As usual

I regret not saying

I love you tonight.

I'm scared you'll get tired of hearing it and forget it means something.

Kinda like the *** that doesn't mean a thing anymore.

I'm terrified I'm losing you to the spaces I can't seem to find

But they exist because why else would you be feeling an ocean between our shores.

I feel it too and it terrifies me.

There's a bridge in your mind

you're on one side surrounded by water turning red

I have a superficial hold that

may break like a vine wrapped around a tree

What's changed I can't quite say

But I need you right now

To tell me you won't go

but you're sleeping

And I'm feeling like I'm about to cry because you mean more than the world

But something is off

And I'm worried it won't come back

I'm worried you'll realize there are girls with their priorities straight

Who don't try to be three people at  once

they are beautiful and kiss much harder

But I love you

I can't speak for them

But I think it's okay to say

I'll love you more then they ever will.

I want you right now

to sit on your lap and shrink to half my size

I want you to hold me and comfort me

But what if you don't and what if I'm all alone

I can't hold myself

my arms aren't long enough

I remember what it feels like to have a broken heart and I can't

I just can't right now.

I don't want you to feel trapped because if you want to go,

Go

But realize what you're leaving behind

For a new girl

Who won't know what color your heart is and why
