I was sure
I had more of a chance
Than she did,
Especially considering
The glaring fact
That she’s, ya know,
STRAIGHT.
You can’t see the stars
Without darkness.
A rainbow never shines
Without rain.
Flowers don’t grow
Without fertilizer.
Sometimes you have
To go through shit
To come out a bigger, better,
I’m going to lose you
And you’re going to lose me
Very soon.
I’d be lying
If I said
I could handle that.
There’s still eleven days left
But my heart hurts
Every time I think of it.
Life is worth living
So live another day.
And every day after that.
Don’t spend it
Locked up
In your mind.
Get up
And do things
That make you feel alive.
You need to learn
To stay strong for yourself,
Not me.
Because one day,
I’m not going to be in your life
And I’m sorry for that.
But you know I love you,
You know I care,
So take those
When I die,
Please don’t cry over me.
Because I will not be able
to wipe away your tears.
You know I’ve loved you,
Always,
Until the day I died.
I can’t care for you anymore,
When you smile,
You look like you might cry.
I can always tell
The difference
Between real and fake joy in you.
You hate yourself
And really, I’m not sure why.
Because you, Emma,
