You said "maybe" after some time we can be "friends".

3 and a half years we spent together.

We laughed.
We cried.
We found each other,
within another.

You threw me to the curb and didn't even look back.
You were my friend.
The one that knew me best.
You were the love of my life.
--I still love you.

There's not a day I forget the memories you left.
There's not a bad thing I can say about you.
There's just a few things I want to tell you.

Im going to stand up.
Im going to move on.
Im going with or without you.

I will not let this be the end.
I will not be forgotten.
I will come out stronger.

Thank You,
But I Deserve Better
So,
No Thank You

I don't like-
The two hour drive.
-29 degrees.
The icy black tops.
The table next to us.
Hearing the trains every 15 minutes.
When people don't text back.
Sleeping alone.

But what I love-
You.
My friends.
The conversations.
The smiles.
The laughs.
The wings.
The beer.
The leftover wings from last night.
The people.
This heated blanket.

Okay - used to express assent, agreement, or acceptance.

The feeling between "happy" and "horrible"
"Okay."

The response people give when asked "Is everything alright?"
"I'm okay."

Don't be "okay.".
Be sad
Be mad
Be happy
Be angry
Don't be " okay. ".

Don't accept or agree, just cause its easy.
Don't think you don't deserve better.
Don't think you are alone.

You are loved.
You are on a journey.
You will face hardships.
You will struggle.

But you will be better than okay.
You will become strong.

Have we met?
What's this feeling in my chest?
Did our eyes just meet?
Play it cool;
Look away
Look back;
Our eyes meet again
We laugh
We smile
The heart races faster
We approach one another
With each step
My heart escapes me
My head goes blank
Lost in those eyes
Frozen by your beauty
How many seconds has it been?
Why can't I speak?
My chest is about to explode
Well,
Here goes nothing
     "Hello"

Sometimes I forget
That I can say stupid things
Yolo Swag Yolo
