I collect memories, moments of being states of life where I feel whole, stakes that don’t resemble loss. Things are fuzzy now, but when I look at you life could not feel any clearer. At your gaze, my mind takes a lifetime of pictures. I collect memories carried like burdens, proof that my love is always late. Maybe this was enough leeway is this how I repay life for not being punctual? A struggle to preserve what I know will matter long after the moment ends. I collect memories that demand payment for every second of comfort they give a past that consumes pieces of me when I peek, a past so consuming I'm starting to lose my place in the present. What we were still lives pressed in me like fading light time I won’t surrender.

Where happy lives...In me
Dissapointed in me for believing Thought i wasn't naive However, the truth remainining the hopeless dreamer forever at heart no matter how much i restart You say you love me, but you only loved the "pretty" parts of my painting Now, when I start to feel safe Im unraveling My colors bleed across your frame stuck in his gaze but, he sees and runs away Not a love, he can maintain. Words repeating, in my brain. Caused a bit of pain, but its not all doomsday Cause im starting to see clear of what was really happening here. Nobody is the villain I just believed when he said the word love and now im tangled up in pool of wants and just want to be free again. My colors, stuck in frame. but he wanted to obliterate all because of my emotions that day the portrait we were painting all i see now is my strokes where did he go? In my shadows, treasures I find. There is gold to mine. Just like without darkness, there is no light. In our lovers a sacred mirror is beheld and it shows you parts of yourself that youve rejected and pushed down to hell. But we must see what we dont want to accept in us and in another before we can truly uncover the jewels waiting to be discovered.

Now, it is clear.
I can't believe we've come this far. Letting us see each other's scars. I can't believe that you're still here. Or that you've changed me so much In less than a year. I never wanted you to see That I was an overthinker. Or how much I love belting out My favorite songs even though I'm a bad singer. I thought you wanted a protector. That showing my fun side Would drive you away. Little did I know, that's exactly why You decided to stay.

Little did I know
You pushed me away when you promised you woudn’t We were supposed to stick together But now I see you laughing without me I understand I was there with you just because I was there I didn’t see it So I opened up my soul to you and let my secrets pour By God, I think whenever I saw you all my problems disappeared It’s hard to remember that I believed every word you said You called me your sister You called me your friend But now we both know I am just someone you threw away
