Missing you here

Cool. Where is *here* and who are you?

[standoutofthecrowd]

I can’t want it for you

🎶 If you want the morning, I’ll open every blind,

I’ll walk you to the water and I’ll take my time.

But if you choose the darkness, I can’t live there too.

I can’t be your shelter from the storm you run into.

But I can drive you home, I can hold the line,

I can pray like thunder, I can beg the sky.

But I can’t want it,

I can’t want it for you.

I can hold you through the night,

Wait it out until it’s through,

I can whisper every hope,

Name the truth you’re running from, too.

I can love you, I can stay,

’Til you say you want it too.

But I can’t want it,

I can’t want it for you. 🎶

Be kind to the person who told you the uncomfortable truth that saved you.

[standoutofthecrowd]

If all you want is distance, I’ll be brave enough to keep it,

If all you want is nothing, I’ll give room where you can leave it.

But if you want a place that isn’t loud or fast,

I’ll build us one—like rain on glass.

Are you straight now?

I’d rather fight a bear than date a man. Hope that clears things up.

what’s the hardest part about being a nurse?

👀 That’s random.

I don’t think I can give a simple answer to that but I’ll try.

It’s the letting go. Not every patient gets better, no matter what you do. Sometimes you just have to sit with them, hold a hand, and be enough.

It’s not just the emotional weight, though. It’s the exhaustion and missing time with family too.

I know you didn’t ask but…

The best part is knowing I made someone feel safe, seen and cared for…Especially when they needed it most. It’s the thank you’s and smiles and knowing I made a difference even in the tiniest way.

If you could redo your hardest goodbye, what would you do differently?

I don’t think I could really do anything differently. I was by his side (my dad’s) when he passed. All I can hope for is that I can make him proud.

I’m crawling, 🎵

Bleeding, shaking

But I’m not faking

This time, I’m waking—

I’m coming back

Even if I come back broken

I’m still coming back 🎵

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

— Unknown

Sometimes love doesn’t fall apart all at once.

Sometimes it bleeds out quietly.

[standoutofthecrowd]

🎶 I used to think love was a war. A losing game, not worth fighting for.

So I locked every door in my chest. Buried my hope and laid it to rest.

But you..

You saw past the mess I made. Loved me in all my broken ways.

Not trying to fix, just wanting to stay. And that… that changed everything 🎶

Did you write this? I can’t find these lyrics anywhere but I resonate with them so much. If you didn’t write it, where did they come from? And if you did is it about a romantic thing or something else? They’re so good.

I can’t keep you, but I can’t let go. You’re the only thing that ever felt like home. I’m tearing down the dream we made to save us both from more heartache and pain. It’s killing me to set you free, but staying’s killing both you and me. I’ll say goodbye, but you need to know… I can’t keep you - but I can’t let go

I did write them myself. Thank you for the compliment. It’s a romantic thing, but I’m sure it could be taken as something else from others going through a different kind of situation.
