your hug always felt like it crushed into my ribcage and went straight to my heart, straining it till i can barely breathe, but im more than willing to die out of asphyxiation just to be able to live in between your arms. i mean it's like im the worthless pebbles on the beach that people would rather throw and you are the wave that'll keep on crushing by the shore to keep in touch with me, and though i know little ripples would never cause the tides to change, it still can cause waves of little volume that'll surely take us deeper into each other. i mean it's like the daily smiles and laughter, everytime your arms brush against mine, everytime our eyes meet, everytime we go home together, everytime we listen to your music, all those little things you offered me kept me safe from all the dangers the world could give. but right now, that exact, same feeling of my ribs being crushed and my heart being strained doesn't feel so romantic any longer. now, it feels like im being choked and my bones are being bent but i still try to hold unto something that keeps on making me let go.
