you and i

this one's about loving someone, i guess :) happy inauguration day btw <3

********************************

it was

picturesque

i know people

talk about things

being

perfect on

paper

but we were

in every way

possible

and yet

we were still

imperfect

in all the

ways

that counted

because what is

love

without love

and what is

perfection

if nobody is

willing

to see it through?

if i had a

dollar

for every promise

you broke

i'd have enough

to buy jupiter

and if you had a

dollar

for every promise

i kept

you'd be a

broke man

there was too much

between us

or so i told

myself

perhaps

there was also not

enough

between us

because without

chemistry

who could expect

reactions

without

happiness

who could expect

happily ever after

i think i did, though

i think i wished and

hoped

on a shooting star

that someday

there would be a

reason

for us

there was never

enough

reasons

for us

i cried about

you

for a while

though you didn't

deserve

my tears

and i didn't

deserve

your time

but we sacrificed

that much

anyway

and someday

when i find a

boy

who is

messed up

on paper

and broken in

real life

and fate has

doomed us

i will

open my arms

and unlock my

doors

because i

learned that

as much as i

hated you

i loved you too

and as much as

we were meant to

be

we were not
