HAIM

i want you to know that I’m sorry you have to be happy for others before you can be sad for yourself i wish you didn’t have to love someone with an expiration date always in the back of your mind and you would stop letting the pain from your past take hold of what is the now i hope you tell anyone who ever says you’re not allowed to hurt that we all bleed from the same wounds and memories can rip you to shreds and throw the scraps to the wind so you spend your time searching for the parts of your soul that went missing on the west wind maybe we’re supposed to get lost in the ache of loss and what ifs and pitiful smiles you wish were directed anywhere but at you they don’t mean to and after all you and i and all the rest of them are still just missing a little bit of ourselves and sometimes it’s hard to be whole.
