skin too thin for a lot of things
you didn’t know
how vulnerable I could be.
defenses others build up
I never acquired.
Not cynical, not bitter
But unshielded as well.

i listened to every word you said
and took it all to heart.
Songs I’d never heard before
you had me believing
that every word was true.
why am i always
the one who gets hurt?

you are everything
i thought i was looking for.
the perfect one,
it seemed, just for me.
the right things in common,
just enough differences
for things to be interesting.

why did you have to be
so incredible?
you burst into my life with
constant conversations
filled with hope and affection.
but now our future
may or may not be.

don't go away.
don't give up on me.
don't stop what we've started.
it hasn't been long for us,
we could be amazing.
i'm just not ready
to give you up.
