i. i tell you that you are the result of the love of thousands, maybe even millions, but i know that nothing i tell you will make you want to stay.
ii. you tell me that you feel like you are already on the autopsy table and i think that maybe that's why you are always so cold.
iii. you say "i'm sorry that small things still trigger me" but i know you look for those triggers even on the brightest days. you remind me of a daisy caught in a tornado.
iv. i choose your happiness over mine every damn time but still autumn lives within you and you kill everything you love the most.
v. and i must accept that i alone cannot carry you home when you pull away from me and run back to the hurricanes.
