You should’ve killed me when you had the chance, but it isn’t in your nature to be that kind…
“Because this thing between us, it’s something that happens only once, and I’ve managed to almost lose it twice. I won’t risk it again.”
Only once
What a mess we made trying to prove we don't need each other.
Somewhere, there’s a version of us that survived.
Couple years flashin' by
And I'm doin' okay
In the back of my mind
All I hear is your name
I bet you're happy and that's fine
But I regret just one thing
I never got to change your mind

I remembered the other day I was given an opportunity to return to the town we met. Your town. I didn’t take it … but I wonder if I would’ve run into you. Fate being the cruel mistress she is sending us back towards one another. You’re a ghost to me now, so faded in the distance yet the memories send cold shivers down my spine. You haunt me, creeping back in right when I forget to remember you. I wonder what look you’d have on your face if you saw me. would you leave like I did? Would you say something after all this time? Would you pretend you didn’t know me ? Like we were nothing? I don’t think I could take it if you did. So I didn’t go. I’ve avoided it if I’m being honest, I don’t know what it would feel like to be back in a town I once called home. It’s a ghost town to me, memories of you walking the streets. In baseball fields and football games. Somehow you even stole the sunset. How can something so long forgotten by one still have such a strong hold on the other after all these years ?

i can only feel a thing in the summer, there's nothing left come winter.
My biggest regret will always be not hitting you that night. Not kissing you that night. Not fighting for you that night.
You said you’d always leave a light on for me … you must of forgot to pay the electric bill.
The words don't come easy anymore.
Peter Pan once told me "never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting"
The more time that passes the more it feels like our sentences really ended with goodbye.
I always thought that we were chapters of the same book. But I'm starting to think I'm a fantasy while you find your home in nonfiction.
The amount of time apart is creeping slowly up to the amount of time spent together, and it terrifies me.
Pretty soon I'll be the lost boy you forgot you tucked into bed.
