i want to love someone
i want to love someone so gently that they think of me at every soft breeze
i want to love someone with the patience they so badly need
i want to love someone in a way that both of us will look back at and smile
i want to love someone with the kindness that i believe everyone deserves
i want to love someone with the same amount of love in their heart as mine
i want to love someone in the exact way i want to be loved
i want to love someone
someone like you.

we all heal in the way we need
but always remember
those who choose not to heal
are not worth the risk to your own healing

there's a sort of peace in the ending
a warmth
a comfort
a realization

nothing truly lasts forever
nothing is forever
but after time
that isn't so scary

the end isn't a death sentence
the pain doesn't last forever
you will survive outside of their world
you will thrive

but take your time
to love
to live
to breathe

it won't feel like this forever
nothing hurts forever.

it's a slow spin
descending into darkness
it's dizzying

sanity feels so close
but so far away
reaching for a light
that fades

i don't know if it was the pouring rain
or the music blasting from my radio
but for one simple
fleeting moment
i felt weightless
and free

if i tried to save everyone
would it finally be
enough

or would i continue
to not be
enough
