so many times
i get caught up in wanting and trying to make everyone okay that i drown myself in doing so. we can’t take that responsibility upon ourselves even if it’s in our very nature to try. whether it’s because we’re not okay ourselves or that we’re so okay that we convince ourselves it’s possible to turn that into other people’s contentment doesn’t change...

i want to press flowers between my skin and read you stories while you fall asleep. i want to erase all of my words that have ever hurt you. i want to take your hand so that we can fly.
I will always come
if you’ll always be waiting.
I will meet you there.

it’s dark and the headlights float past us. you take drags from your cigarette and i hang in your smoke. my hands smell like coffee. you say “baby it’s cold, put your hands in your coat.” but i don’t because i like the way they smell. it reminds me of my father. you put them in your pockets and sing me that song about bringing me the night as long as i don’t cry. on the way home i try...

I’ve been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen, And I have no idea where else my heart could have been, I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill, And now I am sure my heart...

i’m so forgetful, but you always remind me. you’re the only one who brings me peace. you’re the only one who brings me peace. so I come, to tell you i love you. to tell you i need you. to tell you there’s no better place for me than in your arms. to tell you i’m sorry for running in circles. for placing my focus on the waves, not on your face. you’re the only one who brings me peace .
