he's searching for another excuse to leave
(not that it's necessary anymore). her hands are
freezing all of the time and he can no longer
keep them warm. she isn't afraid of him walking
away.

she isn't afraid.

but she sleeps with strangers to try to forget
only to realize she already has. and she doesn't
blame herself (will never blame herself) because
what's in the past can stay in the past. and she's
never looking back.

she's never looking back.

her heart is a firecracker. it explodes and it
soars. everything is what it is, she's not one
for keeping scores but someday, just once
she wants something real. if only to have
something to hold onto.
if only to feel.

i do not know her. but i am well aware of
that need so until you learn to love her
you will never love
me.
