i think ive made too many promises i cant keep. like i promised my dad i would feed the the fish that died from starvation. i promised my doctor i wouldn't forget my pills in the morning. the same ones i forgot to take for two weeks. i promised my sister i would water her flowers. they died. i promised someone i would always be there for them. i ignored their texts. i promised myself i wouldn't fall in love with you again. i promised myself that you wouldn't be the one to make me feel whole. i promised myself that i wouldnt let you come back. i promised myself that i deserved someone good and that i wouldn't search for your compassion. each of these promises i kept trying to make yo myself i failed miserably at trying to keep. i make excuses for my own failures when in reality im just setting impossible fucking goals. you will always be my happiness. you will always own my fucking heart. i will always fucking want u.
