the secret of us by gracie abrams sentence starters.
i felt good about you until i didn't.
got what you demanded, picture perfect like you planned it.
we were fighting more than laughing.
all my friends, they tried to stop me wanting you.
it took all of me to walk away and choose.
i realized i felt fuller without you.
i said i wouldn't do it, but i hunted you down.
i'm not proud.
it could be bad, but i wanna find out.
it don't feel right 'cause you're not here.
god, i'm actually invested.
too soon to tell you i love you.
i still hate the image of you kissing her.
tell me, is she prettier than she was on the internet?
are your conversations cool? like, are you even interested?
tell me if she takes you far enough away from all the baggage you've been carrying.
you look stupid going out.
if she's got a pulse, she meets your standards now.
you feel nothing, and yet you still let her.
i bet you think about me now, when you should be sleeping.
i told the truth, but you didn't like it.
trust me, i know it's always about me.
i love you, i'm sorry.
i might not feel real, but it's okay.
you were the best, but you were the worst.
as sick as it sounds, i loved you first.
i was a dick, it is what it is.
it felt just like a joke.
if history's clear, someone always ends up in ruins.
what seemed like fate becomes "what the hell was i doing?"
do you miss us?
how can you be cold when i open my home?
what seemed like fate, give it ten months, and you'll be past it.
i'm aware that i could end up here alone.
i've never craved someone's attention as much as yours.
here's to hoping you're worth all my time.
it's the only thing that helps me sleep at night.
you made me vain, i can't believe i have to be her.
is this how you see me?
thank god that you're not seeing this.
i'll spare you from everything.
if you would still have me, i'll be waiting all my life.
he's just one of the boys i'll date for like a summer and i'll leave when i'm bored.
i guess it's always funny until it's not.
i swear to god i haven't thought of you in ages.
i understand i changed your plans. i had to.
all i did was right by me. i heard that almost killed you.
i think that you earnestly have waited on apologies but i can't pretend that i'm sorry.
aren't you sad about the fact that you can't write me?
don't you feel alone at night?
we don't even know each other now.
i'd blow all my plans if you'd meet me out.
all i ever did was consider you until all i could do was consider me.
i was your entertainment from a dark place.
it's not my fault you can't sit with the hard thing.
you really thought you would get what you wanted.
am i what you wanted?
you did all that i wouldn't do.
you got bored and i felt used.
would it have killed you to explain?
could you not deny the truth?
when did you slip through my fingers?
did i ever have you?
was i just a place holder to fill the hole inside you?
i've been feeling sick but i should help myself, not call you.
you're not over her, now are you?
that's not how i want to spend my life.
it all comes down to you.
you can go home at night, and you might really not need her. but you feel her everywhere, she is the love of your life.
you know that it's her or nothing.
i hope you're happy.
this isn't what you want.
you're far away from healing.
i hope you know i don't think you're a bad guy, that you're damaged.
you're the saddest but a good kid.
i almost loved you but i didn't.
i know that you're removed. i can feel it when we talk.
you start to let me in but then you shut it off.
it's half of you that hurts sometimes. the half that i don't get.
i swear that i'm not mad at you, but i can't share your bed now.
it's a pain that i caught you at a bad time.
i hope you find somewhere safe for your baggage.
i burn for you, and you don't even know my name.
if you asked me to, i'd give up everything.
i want to be close to you.
you should be mine for life.
