& She lies in her bed at night
[wondering, pondering]
bodies dancing to slow beats
lips forming shapes between breaths
fingertips tracing words that could never be said.
[if you're not here,
apart of me is forsaken.]
lightly strumming our song against the breeze
filling lungs with explicit content
caution signs across their foreheads
this is what happens when a girl falls:
she can't eat, sleep, dream, breathe
scribbling emotional lovesick words
"put me back together, i feel so lost"
[if you're not here,
apart of me is taken.]
it could've been easier[HARDER]
i could've never noticed you
shivering from the cold lyrics within my lips
without the remedy of a lover
[living in isolation is so much harder
without that comforting melody in your heart]
[if you're not here,
apart of me is shaken.]
Somehow,
our hands aligned quite perfectly
& our words traced over themselves
merging "once upon a time" & "happily ever after"
making the perfect love story.
Author notes
So, I'm over 4 hours away from my love.
It's terrible.
I'm miserable.

Oh I really do relate, I miss the one I love so much it kills me... I haven't seen him in a year and a half, nearly 2 years...it will be 2 years on the 6th of August - and idk, I wish he loved me the way I love him, but we'll settle for caring about a lot first =]
