11:04

[overtime, the pain becomes a dull thud, a forgotten memory. even if it never fades, you learn to accept it. and that's how you move on; by accepting it.]

I'd never understood what you'd seen in me in the first place.

I was just a girl; blurring together in the roaring crowd of the world.

I was just a girl; putting on a façade to protect my heart.

I was just a girl; a girl who never quite understood how life worked, never quite liked the way it did.

But you weren't just a boy.

You weren't just a boy; you were my happiness.

You weren't just a boy; you were a lovely showcase. Maybe there were a few scratches here and there, maybe the audience mishandled you, but you still shined.

You weren't just a boy; you were my love.

And you'd never just be a boy; because you taught me how to live life.

You taught me that life never came to us easy. You taught me that no matter what I lost, I'd always gain.

You gave me fleeting moments of happiness, everlasting memories, and a bunch load of love.

And maybe I was wrong; maybe you weren't perfect; but you were mine.

You were mine when no one was, and that's what made me fall for you harder than I had ever fell for anyone.

And I knew that I had cracked when I fell, but I knew that the experience, the wind roaring in my wind, the smiles, kisses and hugs made it all worth it.

And maybe I finally ran out of my 11:11, maybe I had to let you go, but that's what relationships were about, weren't they? Give and take.

To you, I'd given everything I had.

And from you, I'd taken the best things there ever were.
