.the mind is a beautiful thing.

I saw you And my heart skipped a beat But not like it used to. I ran And I found someone who makes me feel safe From you. I feel sick Sometimes When I remember what I've done And that I did it All for you. I sometimes wish People would forgive me And forget it happened But they deserve better. If holding onto sadness Hatred Regret  Keeps you going for now Who am I to say no? I made bad choices Hurt good people Did everything wrong And you still haunt me. But maybe you'll move on Eventually. You'll realise you're holding onto nothing No one And you'll move on. For my sake For yours Please realise Sooner rather than later. I saw you A few days ago And my heart skipped a beat, But not like it used to.

You are trees and you are stars You are cities and you are guitars You are dimples and parties And late night talks in spring And comedy and sunlight And bittersweet ends You are puppies with big paws And parrots with shining colours And books with cracked spines And letterman jackets You are paintings in the dark And sawdust in the air And journals filled with secrets And worn out throw blankets You are you, My best friend, You are you.

I am everyone I have ever loved. I am every confidence Every sadness Every rage Every innocence Every bit of humor Everything Of everyone. I carry with me Everyone. Even in time, no one is forgotten. And in time, I am happy. I think I am happy Even with my tears and my rage, And I hope that people are happy. I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are.
