It’s been ten months

Somehow, sometime, somewhere

my heart started to say I want someone

Instead of I want you.

I longed for any arms

instead of only yours.

I imagined kisses that tasted sweet as sugar

but your smile didn’t break beneath my lips

Somehow, Sometime, Somewhere

My heart began to build scar tissue

and maybe I can get over you.

Maybe I’m not as doomed as I thought // E.M. - It’s always you #23

One of my favourite things is old people in grocery stores. The ladies, running into friends in the soup aisle, Laughing about kids and grandkids, Catching up on the latest gossip. The couple, him blind, her barely mobile. But together they'd chatter about the things on the shelf. Brightly smiling, the best thing in their lives was each other. The man who bought flowers, Couldn't stop talking about his lovely wife, He wouldn't mention til the end, The blooms would be resting against her headstone. But my favourite was a June afternoon, We were sitting on a bench, they were sitting on the one next to ours, You couldn't see them but I could, And in every glance they stole of us, I could see they saw themselves. Her eyes remembering, My heart hoping, That we'd end up where they are now. Love under florescent lights // E.M. - It's Always You #18

How do I forget you when I still taste you on my lips? How am I supposed to day dream when you take over my mind? How am I supposed to get dressed when I feel your fingers still slipping things off? How am I supposed to listen when I still hear you whispering melodies in my ears? How am I supposed to breathe when I still smell you on my skin? How am I supposed to move on when I see you everywhere? Sensory overload //E.M. - It's Always You #17

People are always talking about love, But they never talk about the aftershocks. When the love is gone, The pain almost forgotten. Suddenly it's been a month since you've talked. But you still itch to dial the number. You find yourself crying in the dark, but you know he's sleeping soundly. When you realize thoughts about the two of you ran a little further into the future than you thought. They don't tell you about the aftershocks. All the pieces you thought you'd put back together, shattered on the floor again. And he doesn't even know it's happened //E.M. - It's Always You #16

You said you didn't want it to be like last time, That it was too hard. And I didn't fight you. Now I wonder about what I could have said instead. Why don't we give it a real try first, What can I do to ease your mind, The situation's temporary, I'm not the same as her. If I'd fought for what we had, You might still be here, And my heart wouldn't be so sad. If Only I'd Had Fighting Words // E.M. - It's Always You #15

When I look like I'm about to break, Hold me. When the tears stream down my face, When they soak through your shirt, Hold me. When my breathing is out of control, When I can't think straight anymore, When my world is crumbling, Hold me. When it passes don't let go, You're the only thing keeping me on the earth, Hold me. It's really all I need // E.M. - It's always you #14

When they said distance makes the heart grow fonder, I thought I understood.

But as the days go on and on, I instead find something new. Because I’ve only loved a few, I never knew you could fall for someone, Who you’d never have beside you.

Wish you were here // E.M. It’s always you #13

Someone said your name today, Except it wasn’t you.

I have a secret dream that I dare not speak aloud For fear that all my hopes and dreams will come toppling down That one day you might read these words and finally seem to see

That I’m the only one for you and you're the one for me.

I wish I’d find you at my door out of the blue // E.M. - It’s Always You #12
