If I could

(Inspired by Astronomy by Conan Gray) 

I'd walk you out if I could 

Open and close the door ever so gently 

Hold your hand as we slowly say goodbye 

Maybe give you a kiss right before you must drive away 

And we'd talk about how one day, you'll surely stay 

But I know I can't. 

I can't hold your hand and walk you out and kiss you one more time

I can't say goodbye slowly, savouring every last feeling I can get from you 

Not even a last sip of the sweetness you gave me 

I'll kick you out just so you don't run away 

Throw you out before you can go bad 

 But I wish I didn't have to 

I wish I didn't know what was coming next 

I wish I didn't have to avoid it 

I wish I didn't have to let you go.

Yet here I stand, helplessly still as you run from the life we took away

Wishing, hoping, begging you meant it when you said "one day I'll stay"

  • To Dance

    To dance is to soar

    To feel what it's like for the birds 

    To be free in the air

    If only for seconds,

    Because in your mind, it will last a lifetime 

     

    To dance is to be electric

    I hate the way

    Skinny is now a synonym for pretty

    Pretty a synonym for happy

    Happy a synonym for enough

    Enough is something we will never be
