I Hope You Stay

but the most important thing to remember is all the thoughts and feelings are yours. you may bend, but you will not break, and the light of a new day will ease all the ache. no matter the distance or what may come your way, from my heart to yours, i hope you stay

i hold all this blame about how badly things between us ended i dream so vividly of our conversations late at night but despite all the reasons i shouldn’t think of you i still do it was just bad timing i told myself but bad timing happened time and time again and after all the pain maybe it wasn’t the timing maybe we were just two people bad for each other

thinking back now, even after all the time you’ve been gone and everything we’ve been through, what broke my heart that night was when you said, 'you’ll find someone new'
