Lost At Sea Ii

i wanted you to swim oh, but you want the space. i will give you the galaxy. but, hey, remember that time at your parents place? when we made a little honeymoon, hoping to fix all the backstabs with bandaids. i meant it when i said it; i think you're sad, man. it's hard to see the light with the curtains drawn so tight. i know you saw me looking at who you used to be. and remember that christmas in boston? we got lost on the way to the theater but man i loved you too much to care. i have never felt that raw, man i wish i never saw what i saw because i was so hopeful for you. i think it could have been you. but i could never ask you to stay when you make it so clear you're ready for something bigger and better. but hey it's alright, man. i know you go through things, i think we all do sometimes. it all just felt so real and the cuts didn't seem so deep. our hearts are worn to the core, man i can't do this no more. you really only met her once? if it's true i'm ashamed to say i'm worse. yes i should have been fair and you could have pretended to care. maybe even loved me more but you shouldn't force emotions where they cannot grow. don't you know that we will change? i hear it's like being reborn. so i will meet you soon, again or not at all. man, i really fell for you and you were watching me fall. but when you love something so tenderly and pure, there is nothing in this world that can prepare you for the heartbreak. it arrives and you are lost at sea.

Every so often I read a person work and I am just taken with it. This is one of those cases. This one really hits that spot. Fantastic writing, I am truly impressed.
