Haven’t you heard, you lose what you don’t take care of. You’ve been too distant for me to understand, one day I’ll leave if you keep putting me on the back burner. Because putting someone first gets tiring when they ignore you until they decide they’re bored. I started noticing that when you talk to me, it feels like you’re doing it as a chore. I can only wait so long, I can only take so much and if you keep me feeling like you don’t love me anymore, you’re gonna lose me.

I don’t want to stop putting effort into you and everything we’ve built, but it’s clear you no longer take us as anything important. And someday I’ll stop asking you questions, I’ll stop trying to make you laugh, I’ll start pulling away, I’ll start seeing you as something other than a soulmate. I want to be someone you don’t want to lose, I need you to stop playing it cool, treat me like you did in the beginning before I become nothing new to you. Right now I’m feeling like you don’t want me anymore, so please take the signs or then you’re gonna lose me.

Dreamt of you kissing someone else and woke up sick to my stomach. I know it’s all in my head but I get this feeling I’m not the only one

Did I tell you the girl of your dreams haunts mine? I picture you with her then get bitter and take it out on you

It’s not your fault I carry a heavy heart and am constantly suspicious that any man who says he loves me is hiding something

So I hide behind jokes and remind myself you’re one of the good ones, I won’t ever tell you that there’s still a voice asking me what if you’re not

I love you so I’m always fighting it despite myself, my jealousy could kill me. Feeling like second best is torture, all the girls you wanted before me taunt me

I kissed you with the nerves of a first date, the rush of sharing a last name. Learned and memorized you like I could get a bad grade, you’re the one subject I could never get enough of. I’m jotting your name as if it’s my own, I’ve ran out of pages just writing about you. I’m listening to every song you love, wondering if I could be someone you love, look what you’ve done to me. I love your mind, I dig your cinema, your hands fit mine, I’ve never so badly wanted to be the one. Being with you feels like the fourth of July, got a gut feeling you showed up at the right time, details of you all familiarized, I think we met in a past life.

You’re saltwater in my fresh wounds

The ones you gave me because I was too polite to ask you to stop

And if I did, but you didn’t hear it, is it still my fault?

You were a bad burn, left with a smile like you didn’t leave me scarred

I’m not capable of forgetting, I still shout your name in my sleep

And you’re still saltwater in my fresh wounds

I have a feeling I’ll never get rid of you

sometimes life is the most complicated thing ever and you feel like you'll never know peace and then sometimes life is as simple as feeling at peace after sitting on a bench for 30 minutes

Countless cruelty soothed by doses of dopamine

Lashed out by a harsh tongue

But calm down with a soft touch

Took some time, but I learned that’s not love

A rare good word from you nearly worked

Until I snapped out of it and left for my own good

Because you might not, but I love me

The one thing we don’t have in common
