I can’t remember how to forget you


I have a big heart

it’s accustoMed to grow,

after all, I am a teenage girl.

i overthink So much

apologizing So much,

forgiving too easilY,

worry sO much about

people who don’t care Until 

i’m gone.


 

i’m afraid

i wont find

anyone.

just you.


 

i open up to you,

only you.

i dont know how not to.
