Dear John

June 24

The rain that I feel falling on my skin

Is like the tears I hold within 

They're pouring down just like the rain

I'll stop for a minute to gather my breath only to start again

And honestly I don't even know if I can or how I can

Fix this 

Pick up the pieces 

Fight through the distance 

I don't know if I can let go 

And I don't know how I can keep going without thinking of you

What you didn't realize when you had me is that relationships take time and they need work

Everything still has hope till one or both give up

You didn't realize it was no longer just about you it's also about me

It's about you and I and us and where we want to go and be 

You didn't want to do the work you didn't want to put in time

And I kept doing it all hoping I could win you to be mine

But you weren't mine from the start

You gave me yours and I gave you my heart

But somewhere in this mess we forgot who we are

And now we're like the falling star

A love story that turns into a tragedy 

That's what became of you and me

And I didn't realize or may be I did 

That the more I kept trying to reach you the more you hid

The more effort I put in the more you pushed me further away

And it made you hate me a little bit the longer I stayed

And that's okay

I've accepted it and realized

That all we worked for is gone

But I still fight every night through being alone

Being without you not wrapped in your arms and warmth

You walked away from us and now we turn to dust and we're both floating in the wind

Waiting to be found 

And I'm finding myself. Little by little I'm fixing the broken pieces 

But the pain persists it never Ceases 

I miss you. Every day it just so hard without you

And I'm wondering if you're wondering too

If you miss me at all 

Because we fell in love and fell  hard and now we just fall. 

That love can't just disappear in one moment at all 

It has to still be there somewhere inside

You choose to burry yours while I lay my down I refuse to hide 

I've hid all my life. I can't hide anymore

But it still kills me knowing there might be another girl walking through our door

Making you smile holding you close

While I'm sitting here lonely thinking I'm lost 

Lost on my mind and my mind is lost on you

Going crazy wondering if you're wondering too 

 

We used to fit so perfectly together. Like a puzzle piece. I don't know how I do it but I do. I keep spending so many nights without you

And it's difficult. Lonely. I don't have you when I roll over in the morning. It's so different without you. Without having your warmth and embrace when I'm cold and I'm scared but I do. I don't know how but I do it

You told me to be strong. Taught be to be strong. And I'm learning how to be strong I relied on you for too long and I think that that's where I went majorly wrong

 

I drew into your strength instead of my own and I wore both of us out. I wore both of us out
