I don’t compare her to a rose; I compare her to the light that it grows towards.

“I loved him beyond all reason. And it was such a reckless thing to do but, then again, it was not by choice.”

— Poetry At Most

I made a lot of mistakes that year, and I wish I could say that it all happened for a reason. I wish I could say I understand it all now. But the truth is, there were some things that I never grew from. Some things that only brought pain, and no grand lesson...except for maybe the knowledge that I was strong enough to survive them.

The irony of you leaving me behind, just to one day call me the one that got away.

I have loved you for half of my life.

And I will love you for all the rest of it.

In the meantime, I grow roses. I tell everyone it’s for the flowers, but sometimes I think it might be for the thorns.

You finally fell in love with someone new, and I tell myself it’s because she’s the closest thing you’ve found to me.

I’m so still now. Sometimes I miss the part of me that was always spiraling.

I remember you now like a character from a film. You were only ever mine until the reel ended. And though I’m still reminded of certain scenes from time to time, I’m not one to watch the same thing twice.

There are nights that I don’t seem to sleep at all, my mind dripping from thought to thought like raindrops filtering through the branched canopy of a dense jungle.

I’ve been known to bury memories deep down inside me, for years at a time. After a while, all the feelings that once went with them just begin to melt away into the earth, until I’m left with just the bones. Sometimes when I’m bored I hoist them back up and stare at them through the museum glass of time, wondering if they’re really my memories, or just a play I once saw.
