Do you want things to change but you’re afraid of change the most?

I’m battling with the universe for my place in it, everything tells me I’m so insignificant.

I hope you find a lover that loves you every day of every week, and they give you the space to be silent

The scars, the wounds, that certain people in your life leave you with, the broken pieces of the walls you had built around you, now laid to waste, by them.

Don’t fix me, she says, love me.

Try to win again. At being yourself, at being someone better, someone stronger, someone kinder, someone more like you

Your footsteps shine on the ground, like there are stars on the soles of your feet, planting them like seeds in the soil, and when you walk by my house, my skin gets tingles

I want to move, I want to change, I want to talk, but nobody speaks my language, the language of the lonely, of the lost, of the hopeless

Someone who wants to be next to us, someone who calls us just to hear about what we’re doing

when I look at you, nothing seems that big, I don’t need to run to any other place

I didn’t walk too far, there’s nowhere to go in the city anyway, and I stand outside the door, and again I have a choice, another fork in the road

We’ll forget the times we fell in love over and over again, is that alright with you?
