Funny when you tell me The thing you need is an anchor. Because the last few days Have taught me so much. All I wanted when we first met was to know that we would leave together. But from the start I could feel it, I felt like I was going to be suffocated. The last several weeks, I have laughed more, I have done more… And I finally feel free. And by being free I can see now: Constantly trying to fix us Is the thing that has been killing me slowly. And I don’t want to do it anymore, I don’t want to fix it or fix us anymore. Maybe instead of loving you so hard I should be myself for a while. I should love me. And you should love you. I want so much for you. For both of us. So much more than this. More than being stuck With someone who feels stuck. I want you to feel free too. But no matter how hard we try, We have to realize some things Just can’t be fixed.
