i am not your kind of perfect
i am strange and difficult
and somewhat terrifying to love

have some patience
just wait and endure
don't stray, strengthen your pursuit

you will find beauty
seek further
beyond the walls, for my waiting heart

albeit old scars may be evident
together the heartbreak of yesterday
will be buried beneath the ash of our pain

if after all this
when you finally see all of me
and love me still

i vow for the rest of our days
to throw caution to the wind
and stay true, to only you

I was so scared to lose you
Now I have
But I'm still breathing, I survived
You're still there but it's not the same
It may never be the same
I'm starting to realise that's okay
Our love was as deep as the night sky
But even the most beautiful stars fade away sometimes
The shards of my chest are still tender
But I know we will become stronger
I want to be the person I'm meant to be
I guess we were a little too comfortable, now we have no choice
I will live, I will live, I will live
And so will you
We will shine again
Maybe in different galaxies
But always connected
Perhaps a broken constellation
Can be mended in new ways
I want you to be happy
You deserve it
I want to be happy
I want to overcome my demons
I am strong
It took losing you to realise it
I can do this
I no longer need you in that same crazed way
I will grow, I will grow, I will grow
I will become the most beautiful thing in the sky
And when time heals my wounds
I will be grateful you set me free.
