Car Accident

there was a time when my only problem was that I didn't have you.
back then, that was what I felt like was the end of the world.
but I was immature and failed to realise that a boy not returning the love you have for him isn't going to kill you.
car accidents will, though.

now, at this point in life, you're once again the only thing that crosses my mind.
and it's ironic because it's the first time in years that you've been all I'm able to think about.
but I'm not in love again, and we're still not friends.
and that doesn't kill a person.
car accidents do, though.

I'm not sure I'll ever learn to form the words I want to say and let them slip off my tongue in a careless manner just so you'll know everything I'm thinking even though you won't really hear me.
I'm not sure I'll ever stop taking everything as a sign that you're looking out for me.
And that won't kill you.
Because a car accident already did.
