SHE {sequel to YOU}

nine

sometimes at night, i pretend she's sleeping right beside me.

i turn my back,

and try to imagine her presence.

sometimes i'll fall asleep and forget that having her was just a dream.

i'll try to reach for her

but she'll be gone, just like she never existed.

i want her in my arms again.

i want to be able to call her mine.

and i want to try to fix her.

but I'm broken too, and it's just a matter of time

before i'm beyond repair.

i'm trying to stay away so she can forget me.

and it hurts, because i never wanted to make her cry.

i never wanted to leave her,

because i love her too.
