What I’ve learned is that everything I thought I knew - I don’t. And that’s not a bad thing. The more I keep inside, the less I move. The more that’s said, the farther we go. I don’t know where it will all end up, but - let’s make this journey.

You’re guarded. And a little bit closed off. But you’re not toxic.

my gosh you are so guarded - but i just cannot stop thinking about you, wanting to be with you

Now the day bleeds Into nightfall And you're not here To get me through it all I let my guard down And then you pulled the rug

time to put the mask on for the day. let’s see how long i can keep it on.

well - I pretty much have told you all of the thoughts I’ve kept inside. significantly less terrifying to do when the words just come out and I don’t have much time to think about how or what I’m going to say. but even with all of that, you still choose me - which is not nothing.

still floating because you said you missed me
