and now poetry in coffee shops and paintings of flowers make me want to cry, and i didn't know memories of you would be so deeply engrained in the moments i took for granted.

the sunrises that were once a gentle reminder of being one sunrise closer to seeing you, i now realize, were just counting down my last days of being able to love you.

our time together ended before it ever really began, so i'll pretend my hands aren't shaking because they'll one day forget how it felt to hold yours. i'll pretend tears haven't been blurring my vision for forty-eight hours straight, and i'll pretend i didn't fall so hard for a boy who seemed to have given up on me so easily.

I know it's bad,
to bottle everything up.
But sometimes you have to.
I put my problems aside to care about yours
and I know that's a bad thing
but I just don't want you to feel as sad as I do.
Life's **** sometimes.

you know that dark place?
you never fully leave it.

sometimes you escape,
but then
after all that time and effort
you get lost
and return to it.

you´ve escaped it for days,
weeks,
months.
but then you fall right back.

it hurts the most
when you think you are free,
but then it turns out you´ve walked the wrong path
all along.

so don´t get your hopes up,
but walk that path alone.
because if you walk that path with someone else,
they might lead you to a place that is even darker
than the other one.
Happiness is a permanent destination.

you know that feeling?
when you want to scream
but
not because you're scared,
not because you're sad,
but
because you are happy
and you want the whole world
to know the reason why.
you

i started out
in black ´nd white
but then you came around.

i felt blue
but oh you,
you gave me the feeling of being red.

now purple
is the colour i see.
and i thank you for that
because purple
was always
my favourite colour anyway.
I dedicate this one to you.

My world is a little less dull with you in it
The birds chrip more gently and sing prettier songs
The sun shines brighter and the sky is more blue
Life is better and it's all because of you

´you should worry´ they all say.
´that boy needs to change´ i hear daily.
´but why´ i always ask them
i fell in love with this boy
and i don´t want him to change
for anything
or anyone.

i know we´re in a weird place
but i know it will work out
if not today
tomorrow
because i know
this thing we have
is something special
and
i´m in too deep now
to just give up.

i trust you
please don´t let me down
because then
all those people will tell me
´i told you so´
I don´t let anything or anyone but you change my opinion about you.
