Everything was perfect.
until you decided that i wasn't.

We laughed.
we cried.
& i've never felt so alive.

What hurts more than losing you,
is knowing that you were fighting
like i was, just to keep me.

Sometimes its so much easier
to admit that you don't care,
than to admit that it's killing you.

I've become used to those
long phone calls & late night talks.
i don't think i'll ever stop waiting up for them.

This is why you should never get your hopes up.
this is why you should see the glass as half empty.
so when the whole thing spills,
you aren't as devastated.

You're not my drug; you're my alcohol.
i don't keep you for the taste;
I keep you for the feeling.

Lesson learned;
you can't depend on anybody.

Call me wrong, call me right.
but i bring my better angels to every fight.
you may not like where i'm going,
but you sure know where i stand.
love me if you can.

There comes a point in your life
when you get tired of chasing everyone,
and trying to fix things, it's not giving up; it's just realizing
you don't need certain people & all the bullshit they bring.
