if i had stayed.

i would be living my life on tip-toe.

know your worth.

i am not your afterthought.

(and now?)

and now.

maybe,

just maybe,

you have given me something to miss.

(not) a fairytale.

i want to write of you.

and of me.

of us.

(us)

 

but i would rather we live.

than only exist (in a fairytale)

are we ever really whole?

i think not.

i don’t think that we’re meant to be.

please.

meet me on the bridge.

the things he said to me.

make your home here.

(in my heart.)

you make my heart breathe.

our love makes my heart grow lungs

and

breathe.

like I never knew it needed to

before.
