Me + You ≠ We

 

The smooth feeling of your comforter wrapped around my body

The smell of your skin on my pillows

The warmth of your breathe on melts my heart

It’s so easy to become uncontrollably entranced

It’s so easy to get caught up

The girl who was once witty

The girl who was once cool

The girl who had it all together

Broken

The swiftness of your cunning gives me whiplash

The deviant luminance of your grin blinds me

The cool sharpness of your words stomp me ten feet under

It’s so hard to find my heartbeat

It’s so hard to catch my breathe

The girl who was once in love

The girl who was once somebody

The “we” who was once a “she”

Broken

The moment when I & me becomes we & us

The moment when you give yourself to someone else

The moment when your eyes lock, hands hold, and worlds collide

Indescribable beauty

The moment when I & me becomes we & us

The moment when you give yourself to someone else

The moment when your eyes lock, hands hold, and worlds collide

The end of life as you knew it

Broken
