I didn’t know the person you were when you were491Please respect copyright.PENANAjePHrImTU6
thirteen years old, or how life was like491Please respect copyright.PENANAebtO76PpUs
when you were six, and I never had491Please respect copyright.PENANAVuB2XEPlCx
sleepovers where we confessed about our491Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vc0g1dRaM
first kiss, or had a shot at being your491Please respect copyright.PENANAooBo2b3dSJ
high school sweetheart, but I feel like I’ve known you491Please respect copyright.PENANA0mOHyksG77
my whole life.
I forget that you weren’t there during the years491Please respect copyright.PENANA0R4T7bQG9H
I spent trudging between households on weekends491Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q4THp00JL
and you weren’t someone I could text when I needed491Please respect copyright.PENANAYLit99y0bF
a distraction; I could have used our stories back then491Please respect copyright.PENANAC7bKoxUAwn
when every other weekend was a trip to hell491Please respect copyright.PENANAOUAq6bLBWE
and a survivor story back to heaven.
I forget that we met when I was sixteen years old491Please respect copyright.PENANA9veC8D8lrj
almost seventeen, and you stayed on a skype chat with me491Please respect copyright.PENANAclpl01gMNS
for six hours where we laughed and talked and did491Please respect copyright.PENANAHmcTTQkacP
other things with each other’s companies. I forget491Please respect copyright.PENANAeqY2RGO92q
that we rushed into things; our relationship491Please respect copyright.PENANAtoBp62T1lb
was compromised from the beginning.
Sometimes I think maybe if I’d waited a while,491Please respect copyright.PENANAHHwOepyL3v
let our friendship run its course, maybe we could have491Please respect copyright.PENANAhKO0c7LeRH
been something great. Maybe you could have491Please respect copyright.PENANAkO3OQqmUP1
loved me.
I forget that I never spent nights on sandy shores491Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ABZdDNpq
with you, watching the sunset on those Florida beaches491Please respect copyright.PENANAgargp8GXGU
and you’ve never driven through icy roads491Please respect copyright.PENANAiHVMKac2NH
or built snowmen on porches.
I forget that we come from different places, so often I491Please respect copyright.PENANAc3mKaT15Bx
have to remind myself that you’re not just491Please respect copyright.PENANA5tl6LXfMFt
twenty minutes away; more like491Please respect copyright.PENANAAcm48o3nxV
two days worth of driving, and too much money491Please respect copyright.PENANACCrL9G1Vpp
to fly.
I forget that you haven’t spent my entire life491Please respect copyright.PENANAmxStOLuU2L
by my side, holding my hand, guiding me towards491Please respect copyright.PENANADxSTBJ2tyg
brighter times, and even when you make me cry491Please respect copyright.PENANA6tGuYQBCnA
I don’t regret you. I couldn’t regret you,491Please respect copyright.PENANAv06gEm7QZv
not when you still make love flood me from491Please respect copyright.PENANANSeZbSCnRG
head to toe, and I know, you can’t love me the way491Please respect copyright.PENANAPmHmOSKwbh
the love I have overwhelms me, tugs me through life491Please respect copyright.PENANA5i20uD0RT6
almost blindly, because well, it’s not quite passion but491Please respect copyright.PENANAeQoxhqY2I4
it’s something, and it’s not quite romance491Please respect copyright.PENANA6rqIqadaHi
but it’s something so intense I can’t stand it.
But I forget, sometimes491Please respect copyright.PENANAJg9b30QQHo
that we’re like on two different planets491Please respect copyright.PENANA3jX6ONMx0f
and it’s impossible to meet up when there’s491Please respect copyright.PENANAs5MaSewjUt
an entire galaxy between us.491Please respect copyright.PENANA0lFe86BEl3
And I wonder, sometimes, will we ever491Please respect copyright.PENANAxU9wKXM6j4
make it?
