I FUCKING DROWNED MYSELF IN THE DEEPEST OCEAN FOR YOU BUT BY THE TIME I SURFACED YOU WERE LONG GONE AND YOUR HEART BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE
AND I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW I COULD BE UP AT 3AM THINKING ABOUT THE PITCH OF YOUR LAUGH AND THE SCAR ON YOUR EYEBROW WHILE YOU'RE FAST ASLEEP DREAMING ABOUT HIS OVERWHELMING LOVE FOR YOU
YOU KNOW, EVERYONE TELLS ME I SHOULDN'T BREAK MYSELF IN HALF FOR YOU. BUT I'M SHATTERED IN PIECES ON THE FLOOR AND I'M OUT OF TAPE TO HOLD MYSELF TOGETHER.
HAD YOU GIVEN ME TWO MORE WEEKS I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL YOURS. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE FUCKING STARS. I'M SORRY I THOUGHT MORE OF YOU; I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS.
MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL LEARN. MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL STOP PUTTING SO MUCH FAITH IN PEOPLE LIKE YOU. MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL REALIZE NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME HEART AS I DO.
