that's the thing about letting go
you have to want to forget
maybe I don't
maybe I wan't to hold on
to the tiny shred of hope
that you'll wake up one day to see
what I've dreamed of all along
the timelines will collide
it will be you and me

she sees the way the stars glow in his eyes
gold specks of stardust explode from the sky
green and blue like the deepest sea
there’s no place she’d rather be
wrapped in his arms feels like home
never alone
so familiar like the worn pages of an old book
all it took was one look
she fell before she even had a chance
no turning back locked in his trance
his smile so mesmerizing
he stole her heart without even realizing
​

I sit in silence staring at the phone
was I wrong?
everything so unknown
feeling lost
unsure of where to go
so much left unsaid
is this right? am I on the mend?
you say I don’t know how to be
making quick decisions unapologetically
the ghost of us haunts me
what could have been
my throat is tight
trying to keep emotions at bay
will we be okay?
uncertainty in my every move
was there anything left to prove?
I see you slowly replacing me
maybe she won’t have the same fears
that I kept bottled up with my tears
I couldn’t let them go
one mis-step and they would surely flow
waiting in the aftermath
on a destructive path
do I need someone to save me?
you’ve got me on my knees
praying and begging for answers to come
this is how I unravel and come undone
the words escape me
unsure of how to just let it be
aching from within
where do I begin?
you were always by my side
there to hold me until the pain would subside
the only thing I know to be true
these are the last words I can write for you
​
