we were just kids" ...at least that's what we knew we'd say. old enough to know better smart enough to know that we didn't have to stupid enough to think it didn't matter and vain enough to think it never would
we were living stolen lives but it was only time someone found us out- someone had to pay, and you were dead either way i keep living a stolen life.
i live because i let you die.
i thought i'd hear you call me in the darkness i always thought i'd see you at my worst- my most desperate. but i never dreamed i'd see you in the summer, in the bluest skies i'd ever seen. in perfect places with strange names a moon so bright i didn't need a flame. in beautiful words i didn't understand
i still see you reaching out your hand in the quietest times, when i realize just how lucky i have been. when i let myself be happy, if only for a moment (pray for me)
