I miss the days when I was strong. when I didn't need your heart to beat for me, and promises between us were never broken. I miss when we used to stare off into galaxies and envision ourselves never leaving the other because the mere thought was bound to crush us both.
..
I don't know how to tell you i love you,I've tried to write words that could only ease the tension, but my words are inadequate and I'm scared to admit the truth. so I wrote it all over my homework praying that words wouldn't have to explain it, and that you would just know.
..
you asked what its like to love, break, and die all in the same breath. I said its like walking with silence in December while a million hearts explode in your chest, but you don't care enough to feel it. your face twisted in confusion and I whispered, "it's beautiful..."
..
I quit wishing upon stars, and kissing my necklace every time it was backwards, because I knew that no matter how superstitious I was, there would be nothing in this world to bring us back to cloud 9.
I would give my life to be your angel in the sky again.
..
they asked me how much I loved you and I couldn't find the words to say it. so I told them to imagine the one thing that the love most in the world and multiply it by infinity. and that was when my heart leaped out of my chest and escaped without a sound. to imagine my life without you, is like multiplying hell times eternity, its like reaching out to touch you and you crumble into dust without a goodbye.
..
I am holding on for dear life and I need you to need me back.

i absolutely adore this part:
"you asked what its like to love, break, and die all in the same breath. I said its like walking with silence in December while a million hearts explode in your chest, but you don't care enough to feel it. your face twisted in confusion and I whispered, "it's beautiful...""
