She didn't say my name like you,
In fact, she hardly said a word.
I opened my arms,
But kept my heart closed,
Kissed her skin but not her,
I couldn't bring myself
To look her in the eyes.
She saw just as much of me
As I saw of her,
And that's not much in
A dark room.

I tried to erase your name
From my vocabulary,
Tried to stay up late
So I wouldn't dream about
The things I thought we
could be.

She made me feel like
There are other people
Who don't belong.
I wasn't the only one
With half a heart caught up
On constellations,
We're all a little scared,
She made me feel,
like 3am with her
Was somewhere to belong.

I tried to forget the way
You'd laugh,
But please understand
That you made me feel
Whole for a while
So
It was hard to walk away.
It still is.

She said she wished
Someone would write
About her the way
I write about you.
She said you must be
The most beautiful
Girl in the world.
I told her
I romanticize
Things.

I haven't seen your smile
in a while,
and i dont want to.
I forgot the way you'd
say my name.
