“What’s in a bad boy that makes you want to throw away all of the pretty things you are just to match his dirty, just to be all of the things you think that he wants, you change yourself to ignite the fire that he is because you’re afraid otherwise you’d put out the flames, you’re afraid he’ll like it, you’re afraid he will be soft for you, and you’re afraid you won’t feel anything anymore, you won’t feel the way you felt when you met him and he was spitting on the side walk while drinking Jack Daniels from a coke bottle, you’ll miss the adrenaline, the late nights, the fast drives, and you’re afraid he might love you the way you’re scared to be loved.”

“You look different than the last time I saw you, Shorter hair, Darker circles around your eyes, I look older, More worried, Thinner, I missed you, I missed you, I spent weeks wishing we’d end up at the same gas station, In the same mall parking garage, And you’d see me, All tan skin and mini-skirts, The memories would come flooding back and maybe you’d miss me too, But we are here, a passing glance in a crowded diner, You half-smile at me and disappear, & I never stop wishing”

“The earth will always push back on the soles of your feet, that’s the nature of gravity, it won’t let you float away even when you want to, and it won’t let you fall down too deep when you feel like you should be.”

“i mean i love you, i mean i like you but its complicated, i mean dont stop, i mean stay, i mean im sorry for everything i never got the chance to say to you, i mean i wish you were here, i mean this bed feels so empty without you, i mean the sky is a different kind of blue when youre gone, i mean your mouth tastes so sweet when its pressed up against mine, i mean i hate you for this, i mean i miss you, i mean please just come home.”
