I was broken when we met  
And You became the reason
why I wanted to mend myself
—I really did
Your ways were rubbing off on me
I yearned alteration
A motive for my being  
—But it did not take long
For me to discern  
You were also broken
If not leveled then more than me
—But I am not going to cease
From this path You unleashed
I will break out of my brokenness
Not to show I am stronger than You
—But to aid You in becoming anew
So that even if someday we shall grow apart
You would remember me as someone
—who rubbed off a little something on your magnificent heart
And I would treasure you as my most beautiful fate
Because I was no longer broken after we met

I have been convincing myself
It's anything but love
I tell myself the reason
why I don't listen to love songs
is because they are not my type

I have been convincing myself
that your voice is like any other
Just a fond human connection
that your presence is not unique
Just a fond human connection

I have been convincing myself
Photographs are just trivial things
Yet somewhy yours I have saved
I don't know what good will it even do
What need do I even have for them

The notifications flood my screen  
I just swipe everything aside
Until your text is the only thing I see
And yet for some **** reason
I have been convincing myself
that it could be anything
Anything but love.
