I still love you and it's okay,
It's okay,
I can breathe.
I'm still here
It's okay.
My heart was shattered and I lost my mind trying to gather the shattered pieces off of the ground.
I could feel you there even when you weren't around.
I tried to call out but there wasn't a sound.
I tried to scream and shout, I called you names, I even broke stuff around your house so you'd hear but you still didn't appear,
you weren't there.
I just wanted you to see what it was like, how it looked inside my mind.
It's been 8 months and I'm starting to forget your face, but I still think about you every single day.
Years worth of tears ran down my face after I saw you again and you walked the other way,
I walked along the shore and sat in the rain, I wanted to suffocate in the waves.
I sometimes pray to God to keep angels around me, but that night I shunned them and let the weight of the pain drown me because I realised we'd never be the same.
At first I tried to drink but I knew it wasn't the right thing, I just couldn't cope, I didn't want to mend because I still held on to hope.
I thought that if we spoke I could say I was sorry for the smoke caused by the fire that blurred my vision, I was sorry for the mess caused by the bitterness and anger and pain that we sat in.
The dust is settling and I can see a little clearer, I didn't think I'd survive, but I can breathe again.
I forget your face but in my heart you're still there.
It aches but it's okay.
I still love you and it's okay.
