“And so she left, whereas then, she realized that just because she was planted here, does not mean here is where she has to grow.”

She burns like hot water then tastes like sweet tea.

And now you are the butterfly finally free.

To the girl I was, you taught me to never let another tell you how you should be loved.

From here I forgive you for how you held me with your hands but mostly I forgive myself for how I let you.

Sweetness is a familiar taste I have for honey but now honey, You are my sweetness.

He never deserved her and the empty pillow where her head used to rest tells him that every night.

It was when she left him did she then become herself.

To the girl who thought he was real love, he didn’t love you he just loved the way you made him look.

You pull me from my roots and dry me out but with these tears, I bloom again.

With you, I’ve found my permanent home.

Now if only at my worst had I known I was about to be at my best.

And darling, you’re safe here where these walls only want to watch you grow.

Your love is sirens loud and coming to save me.

That night I fought and I fought but your hold was stronger yet I knew even your hands could not hurt me more than your love has.

Your love is not just a feeling but a knowing.

Darling remember we are all the same with different coverings.

Each moment that passes changes you. You can’t even own yourself. How can you ever hope to own anyone or anything else.

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.

You make my life so hard but that’s what gets me off.

Some things are more precious because they don’t last long.

Everything that comes together falls apart.

I’m scared that every girl I care for will find a better man and end up happier in the long run.

I just hope that you miss me a little when I’m gone.
