When you find yourself
In someone else.

When you fall in love
In a moment.

That love
May be too much
For you to take.

But that doesn't mean
That she was too much
For you to take.

She wasn't bad.
She wasn't wrong.
She wasn't overwhelming.

She changed a life
That required too much
To change.

And she is
Beautiful
Magical
Wonderful
Perfect
In her soft skin.

She will be
Everything
To someone
Someday.

Let her go.

Let's
Resurrect
What we were.

Let's
Raise our love
From the dead.

Let's
Try it all
Again.

It was
Supposed to be
You and me
Against the world
Against the worst
Until the end
Until forever

Let's
Start
Again.

And with no heart
How will I ever
Love again.

You were it.

You visited me
And you asked me if
He holds me.

The way what you hold me.
"No."

And you came to me
And you asked me if
He craves me.

The way that you crave me.
"No."

No. No. No.

I could fill my gut
With "No."
Where you are "Yes."

I could live in your arms
I could feed off your passion
But no.

Because he holds me
In the night.
And he holds me
In the morning.
He holds me when
I'm sleeping.
When I never even
Know it.

And he craves me
Without asking.
He craves me
Without thinking.
Craving me
Is second nature
To him.

So
"No."
He's not you.
But you're not him.
And you were never willing
To be.

So go back home.
And give me back
The keys
To my heart.

There's a love
That is forever.

And it comes in many forms.

Forever love
Can be friendly
Can be fearful
Can be passionate
And can be painful.

I've lived my life
Feeling a few
Forms of forever love.

But when I met you
I felt it all.

And I could breathe
And I felt like I was choking.

And I could fly
But I knew that I was falling.

And I just wanted so desperately
To grab you at the hips
And pull you into me.
But my hands were tied.

I felt forever love with you
In every form.
And I failed you.

And in that very first touch
Of your delicate fingers
On my shoulder
I saw all that we would be.

I saw the heartbreak
I saw the sorrow
I saw the hurt

And I jumped anyway.

​
i never meant to start a war
i never meant to make you bleed
i never meant to hurt you
i never meant to start a fire
i never meant to make you cry
