as she settled into her new place
piecing together everything she thought she needed
she came to the realization that she was lonely
so very lonely.
she searched for someone
anyone. anyone to be by her side
anyone who wanted to be her friend
he didn’t want what she wanted
but they both slowly fell in love
he said it first
she said it again and again
he repeated it for her every time
they went on adventures
they planned the impossible
well it wasn’t really completely impossible, but just for them at that specific moment in time
they were in love and wanted to be alone together
but they had to wait for it
they had to work hard for it
they wanted it so bad
when they argued, they knew how to mend everything
they knew what to do
she would explain her side
he would explain his side
they would meet in the middle
she thought she wasn’t enough
he thought he wasn’t enough
they met in the middle
they would always meet in the middle
that’s what made them perfect for each other
when they held hands, it just felt right
their bodies were meant to embrace each other, for they were each others missing puzzle pieces
but responsibility kept them apart
it took him away from her
she wasn’t complete without him
but they pushed forward together, apart
they managed at first
it was hard. it was really hard.
but love kept them together
until he wanted to focus on himself
he wanted to become a better person
she wanted to as well
so they grew up without each other
she still cries
she doesn’t know how he’s doing
she doesn’t know if he had a good day or not
she doesn’t know if he ate already
she misses him
she still loves him
but that’s just how it is
she’ll manage
he will too
at least she hopes he does.
