You had me in the tropics  
Sun sand and sea.
You touched me in places no one else could reach.
Where others saw nothing-
you happened upon the most beautiful something.
Thank you for that.

I needed that.
I needed you,
Michelle.

I miss you
it's hell without you.

Money can't buy everything-
Michelle
you held me
I never got to tell you
how hard my heart fell.

I'd waited for you since I was 15
and met you the night I turned 21.
I had been in Australia 3 months.
Jaw dropping
heart stopping
Michelle.

You showed me the meaning of
making love.
In a single caress
you showed me tenderness
the searing ache -
where pleasure meets pain.
Michelle.
As we sit alone drinking wine that was meant for two.
I am reminded again that I'm an idiot.

Honestly given my track record you probably knew
that I can’t be trusted when it comes to my heart, period.

I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t mind getting a sleeve wet,
who would blacken eyes, and ****** knuckles for a smile.

I would stay up all night without a single regret.
Heck for her I look forward to the extra mile.

Yet when it comes time to actually ask her out
I choose not to, so we both sit bored on the weekend.

Another day wasted since I won’t ask for a hangout.
To be honest this pattern is becoming a trend.

She deserves more than what ifs. The chance to answer yes
instead of dealing with my mentally assumed no.
For all the people who didn't have a valentine because they never asked for one

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

remembering once was
remembering what everything i thought, never was

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

kissing my knuckles
putting stickers on my wounds

rolling down the hill
mixing blood and dirt

saying goodbye on a stained paper
leaving it on the bedside, under a bottle of cough syrup

You're leaving
And I know it's for the best
But I can't help but remember
The smile on your face
The squint of your eyes
And the feeling of your hands

I can't help but think
What if-
What if-

But in the end,
The what ifs have no purpose
Because you're leaving
And I don't think I'm coming back, either.
I wish you the best of luck
