safe from the world, though the world will try

Chapter 4: to remember you (i hate loving you still)

Notes:

this one was inspired by a fic by Fangirlqueen87 called 'and yes, i'll always know' and she told me i could post it so this is fUn. the basic idea was inspired mostly by that fic so it's set around the time robert was letting aaron go and taking his ring off and seeing him with alex. (remember these poems are spoken word so they're better read aloud!)

Chapter Text

all i can say for certain is
i hope you're happy
i hope he structures a grin
on your face that i never could
for i was so caught up in how
to love you and have you know it
i hope you know i still do

i know this is the part where
i'm supposed to hate you
where i should spit at your name
as if it's acid trying to burn me down
but really all i know is your name
tastes better in my mouth than
what i imagine it does in his

i'm trying everyday to not imagine
my ring on your finger like it was
for so long, and i hope it never felt
like a handcuff on your hand
for mine felt like everything being
wrapped together, after so many
years of scrambling, and you
you held it all together

but i hear his voice wherever i go now
his so-perfect voice that makes
your safety net like i once did,
and i wish i couldn't remember
how that felt to know
but i can't and i wish i could forget
i hate that i don't wish that at all
but i hope a day comes that i could

i hate still knowing everything about you
from your favourite mug you need to
have your morning brew in -
that green one that goes from dark to light
to your favourite memory of your mum
on the beach at seven years old
i hate that i'm knowing all this, and hoping
he never knows as much as me
i'm trying to remember you and
let you go all at once
i don't think i'm cut out for it

all i can say for certain is
i really hope you're happy
