sometimes I wonder if winter was your favorite season, too,
or if you would have preferred summer, or maybe autumn.
you never seemed like a spring person, though.

sometimes I wonder if maybe I had waited a little longer,
she would have changed her mind and we could've made it work.
it never seemed like she'd budge, though.

sometimes I wonder if you would have been understanding if I hadn't just left,
or if you would have shut down and broken my heart just like I was doing to yours.
you never seemed to be the type to do so, though.

sometimes I wonder if you even regret letting me go,
if you miss being entwined in bed or watching me scramble eggs on skype.
you never seemed like one to let memories go, though.

I wonder if things were ever as they seemed
or if I deluded myself into thinking they were so.

I tried to move the ocean
One puddle at a time
But my bucket was
Full of holes
And now the sand is too wet
For castles
When was the moment?...  
Did the idea plant itself within you like the root taking hold?...
When did our love ...waver, falter, fail you?
When was the moment that you waded far from the shores of my love?...
Deeper into the waters of oneness...standing on your own two feet...fleeting...
As my footing, my voice, my humanity escaped me...slipping from the depths of my soul...
intermingling within the seas of your sadness...oddly... We are one again.
And I...unhinged and undone...carried between the crosswinds of angst and adoration...torn from union...  Hover....like a spirit...over you...over us...OVER.
And all at once ...you...dissipate...disappear...a misty memory dancing around me...scatter...float...fall...
Rain down upon me...and as the memories settle...
a myriad of invisible scars burrow their imprint deeply within my soul...
And you...who walked away...
Is carried within me...
Tell me...When was the moment?...

am i using you?
or are you using me?
i just can't tell anymore

is any of this real?
i never could see
if i mean to you what you meant to me

meant, past tense, because the feeling is gone
im just sitting here waiting for everything to go wrong
but it already has, though we've barely begun

and darling, i don't love you
and darling, i never did
and darling, i never will

so please don't take it personally
when i use you like you use me
i know you're my boyfriend, but i don't know why
Sometimes I think we may be the same person.
So much that;
when you tell me secrets
I already know them.
When you laugh;
smile;
cry;
frown;
I do as well.
Maybe more so,
as I have the emotion of two people
filling my heart.
Sometimes, I think we may be the same person.
So much so,
that when I dream a dream,
you dream the same one;
waking with the same song
stuck in both our heads.
So much so,
that when I leave,
I feel a giant hole in my center,
the perfect outline of your heart.
So much so,
that sometimes I really do believe
that we are the same.
To you: I know I write a lot of negative things, but the good things out weigh them by hundreds. I'm just too scared to show you.
