Temporary

It was magical when our two souls momentarily connected,

Yet sadly we drifted apart.

I needed you in my head,

I wanted you with all my heart.

Mind over matter.

Being with you I don’t mind,

But when I wanted you, did it matter?

My feelings are all intertwined.

How to say goodbye

Before I say goodbye, I want to tell you that I will always love you, whether you are downstairs, across the street, in a different neighborhood, or in a different part of the world. And even though my heart is still breaking, I know that you will always fiercely and unconditionally love me. Those who you will meet will be lucky to have been in your presence, even just for a moment, just as I have been lucky enough to have known you for as long as I have. It has been a privilege to know you, and an even greater privilege to love and be loved by you. You will always be a part of my life, and I will always be a part of yours. Thank you for being the best person that you could be, and above all, the best person that anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for going above and beyond in what started as nothing and became a relationship that will far outlast our time together. Thank you for the memories, both the good and the bad, and thank you for the memories that are still to come. We are not finished; this is not the end for us, only a new and slightly painful beginning. And so now here it is, the moment we have dreaded and dreaded to wait for: Goodbye, I love you, and I will see you soon.

Still

It takes 21 days to break a habit

But is that really true?

Because it's been six months

And I'm still in love with you

I don't know why I fell this deep

For someone that never cared

I've always been cautious of who I trust

But with you I wasn't scared

The heart wants what it wants

But maybe not what it needs

It was my fault for opening my heart

Because now it only bleeds

At first I thought you were my medicine

I thought you was starting to cure me

But you turned out to be my poison

That was slowing starting to kill me

I wish I could stop this feeling

Or stop the world and make it still

Would it change your mind, how I feel?

I don't think it ever will

Loss of Innocence

My white dress slowly faded to black And my little cherry chapstick turned dark red My hair grew shorter to show off my breasts And my nights become longer for the rest was unsaid

The world has lost it’s wonder but I’ve never felt more dazed Where did the little white dress go? Why did my innocence fail to stay? -i.h
