the first day I met him 
he reminded me of a song 
and i didn’t know any of the words yet, 
but it was my new favorite 
because the melody made me feel 
new 
and 
exciting 
and i’m in my car, 
stopped at a red light wondering 
why it feels like 
i’ve just
 fallen of a cliff,
but no one pushed me

i

jumped

you make me feel the kind of tired,
you know the one,
where it’s burning behind your eyelids,
but you can’t shut them because you’re driving,
and you have an end goal,
but it’s dark
and no one is on the road with you,
but you know if you shut your eyes
for just one second
it’s all over

it fucked me up when i ended things with 
him
but it was nothing compared to when i lost 
you 

 

because,
everyone wants to be with 
someone,
right?

i was never taught how to
get over
someone

and

things never work
out
the way they’re supposed to
not even with

me
 and
you

and i’m reminded of when i went here with 
you

no matter what 

i’m gonna 
write about 
us
i’ll always
 write about 
us
