Together

You’re different

With all of us

Versus just me.

You’re different

With a whole crazy friend group

Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

Or playing flute in my room 

Or practicing for the spelling bee on your couch

Or going over a duet with your dad.

You’re different with me and honestly,

Honestly it’s good different,

I mean you know I’ll always love you

Infinity forever figures five and three

But you are so much more real

When you don’t have to be a certain way for the people around you

When you know it’s me and you know me

When it’s just us

You’re different

And you can talk to me

And I can talk to you

And this is the boy I fell in love with because

Because he was like this

With me

From day one and I don’t know why but I was too

And you’re different depending on who you’re with and so am I

But I think we’re a little happier

A little more ourselves

When we’re with each other

  • Broken

    I let myself cry

    And it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest

    Exploding

    Shattering into the sky

    I felt like I was dying

    Each day it gets easier

    But when it catches up to you

  • Replaced memories

    You created memories

    And then got to move on

    Leaving them untouched and perfect

    Mine are being trampled.

    Walked all over by my friends

    My peers

    I can't DO this

    This constant emotional bombardment
