2:07am



my heart a skipped beats,
my thoughts ran a thousand miles,
somehow you were always on my mind,
i can’t breathe & you made it no better,
yet i’m sorry - for killing you softly,

but you’re fine & i’m not,
i don’t know if i’ll ever be,
but no matter how hard i wanted to protect you,
the worst of me was yet to come,

i love you,
and out of all our ramblings
those 3 words still made
no sense.
