sixty or so days ago i set a countdown, waiting for the day i wouldn't frown. thirty or so days ago my heart burst, i loved you so much because you were the first. fourteen or so days ago you stopped replying, so i told my pillow i was sorry for crying. seven or so days ago i looked at the countdown and realized this is what it felt like to drown. but two or so days ago all i could do was bid adieu, because there were two days left and no longer did my heart pound for you.

letting go.
sixty or so days ago i set a countdown, waiting for the day i wouldn't frown. thirty or so days ago my heart burst, i loved you so much because you were the first. fourteen or so days ago you stopped replying, so i told my pillow i was sorry for crying. seven or so days ago i looked at the countdown and realized this is what it felt like to drown. but two or so days ago all i could do was bid adieu, because there were two days left and no longer did my heart pound for you.
could be better. // for t.s.m. as always.
