Sometimes you will find 'closed' doors that you must open in order to slam shut.

I never realized how blind I was to it until I finally stopped falling weak to my desires. I understood that sometimes you need to realize it’s not so much about giving up the things you love. Sometimes the things you love have given you up already. Stop making an effort and you’ll understand; people can leave you long before they’re gone.

You shared all your favorite songs and I gave you all my favorite words. Worst part of it all, should we fall apart, your music will turn into these flashback polaroids and my metaphors will only be about you.

I’ve been trying to reach out to you,
but the replies are either blunt or 
not there at all.
I’m sorry I keep on trying to 
see how’ve you been.
I know you’ve been trying to escape everything,
and I guess I’ve just been nothing but a remnant of it all. Sorry for being such a leach at times

I’m still not ready to erase you.(J.S)

The way you speak so passionately about the things you admire and how there's so many things you want but know you don't require. How you dont only hear but listen, How you aspire words And argue when you have a contradiction How you are humble Even when someone mentions How perfectly composed You are .

Maybe it's the memory of the last time you locked eyes with me Or the way that everything seems to have roots that end up tangled in something you've spoken Or how just talking to you makes me feel like everything that has caused me an acheing in my chest, doesn't anymore.
