It’s okay I’ll write poems about you and pretend that they are about him And when you ask me I’ll lie to you I’ll avoid the topic I’ll change the topic I’ll not myself be vulnerable around you I won’t open my old wounds just to prove That I am in just as much pain as the next person I won’t let you affect me as much as he did I won’t let you affect me as much as you do I won’t let you break my heart the way he did I won’t let you break my heart the way I did I won’t cry when you leave and I say when and not if because I know the difference

I’ll write about you and pretend that they are about him, I’ll write about him and pretend that they are about you //  JustScribbledWords

(Left: wool fleece. Right: polyester fleece)
