You


I loved your flaws the same way I loved taking chances

scary and uneasy just like our first glances

Almost dawn, the first moment I laid my eyes on you

I smiled so wide, nervously as the wind blew

The scent of your perfume stayed throughout the night

You were my favorite out of everyone, my skintight

I pulled you and gave you hundreds of kisses

How I wish I could relive the moment with these broken pieces

Struggling to heal, words won't come out right, but do you still care?

Bad decisions were made, but without you, I don't feel like a billionaire.

I'd rather have fights than to see you disappear forever

If not, I'd rather lose my senses than to see you with someone better

River of tears while longing for your touch

Can't take back what we broke, but I miss you so much

I hope you're happy even if it means I'm no longer in your life

Thanks for everything because at some point, you made me feel alive.
