Forget the air, I’ll breathe you instead.
Being gifted doesn’t mean you’ve been given something. It means, you have something to give.
You are the best parts of all the songs I love.
No matter how you stack me. No matter how you arrange me. No matter how you look at me. I am still here and i am still the same person made of the same things. I regret nothing.
I read what you leave in public spaces. The songs you reference. The quotes you quote. I know it’s about me. I can feel you thinking of me. I want to tell you that I know and admit that I feel the same. But I can’t. Not yet.

Let’s make lists of all the things that make us smile and tick them off, one at a time. The world will carry on without you and me when we’re gone. Let it carry on without us, today.
For I may fall and I may fail but I will stand again each time and you will find no satisfaction. Because you cannot kill me here.
