Chapter Text
I loved you when it hurt inside too
When I connected my hands with yours,
You pulled away with fears, tears, years
They never gave away
Drifting within minutes
Childhood with games and dreams
Dreaming that we’d become big
You opened your eyes to see
Not only to see but to understand
What you saw recoiled into your throat
Bus stations and illegal driving
Your brother only had the licence
We laughed together, everyone
You hated the quiet
Filling it with empty nonsense
Words that only I could understand
Powdered blush never became my friend
Your friend only
With such hatred of the world
Hatred of the fear
You only ran away, I try, holding your hands
Only for the tears to run down my face
We broke with the years
Not holding your hands even when I needed too
You left the city
My words falling short
No longer able to speak to you
The world didn’t turn for those minutes
Those minutes of broken dreaming
Our hands now cold trying to reach out
