I doubt you remember
That three years ago today
You convinced me to make the best decision of my life
I allowed in the best thing that ever happened to me

I tasted your lips for the first time
It was 10 degrees outside but my body had never felt so warm
I didn't tell you then
But I was head over heels from that first kiss

Happy Anniversary baby
I hope your new girlfriend treats you well on the day that used to be ours

And just like that
She up and left
She took all she had
And everything that she was
And she disappeared

I think this place became too much for her
There were too many reminders bumping into her on the streets
Too many people who had hurt her
Too many people she had hurt

We all see the spot she used to fill
Looming around us like a tender ghost

I wonder if when she left
She stayed herself
Or if she left so she could become someone new
I like to think that if I found her
I would still know her

I hope that when she left she realized that she was already everything she needed to be
It was just us that didn't know how magnificent she was

It is so much easier for me to let you kiss me
And give you what's temporary

Than lay down my armor
And give you my forever

"So, what's your dream job?"
"President."

"Okay. And what job would your heart choose?"
*"Poet."

Maybe my life is one of the ones
Dedicated to loving so tempestuously
Only to lose that love
So that my writing may always stay truthful
And my judgment never clouded with the lies of forever

They tell me that I will find him one day
But I've also heard that one day turns into today
So how will I know the difference?
When do I get to tell my heart to stop hoping because someday has passed?

I don't know...
It would just be nice
If for once
They noticed my heart or my mind
Before my body...
You know?

I had never seen her face like that before. It was so... heavy. Her blue eyes had turned gray. Her comforting smile was resting as lifeless lips on her face. It was as if you could tangibly see the weight pulling her down into a darkness one doesn't return from.

"That's what you do when you love people. You sacrifice. Even if it means giving up your world for their happiness and security."

She was silent for a long time. Then she cleared her throat and I could've sworn I saw water in her eyes.

*"We die for the things we love. Then hope those things miss us after we're gone."

And just like that
You were comfortable all over again

And even the thousand miles between us
Couldn't take you off my mind
