sunlight and it's pitch black.
2) Don't look into his eyes for too long because
you may fall in and drown.
3) Make sure he doesn't hold your hand because
if he does, it means he can let go.
4) Do not show him how you feel because
he will consume your emotions and
you will be left with nothing but
whispers of (I) Miss You without him.
5) When he finally pulls you in, kiss him like
you're drowning and he's the oxygen in the air.
6) Do not fall for him when he promises to stay because
they never do. They never never never do. They never stay and
when he leaves, he won't even have to rip your heart from
your chest because you'll do it for him and beg him to take it and
he will toss you aside like a stained shirt and
never look back and all you'll remember will be how his eyes looked
when he said he's sorry.
7) Do not believe in him when he says he loves you because
love is cunning and soon,
all that'll be left will be fragments of the pieces you were.
8) Remain silent when he walks away,
no matter how much you want to cry.
9) Take the memories of him and put them in a box,
then set it on fire and watch everything that
you used to be, go up in flames as well.
10) Write him letters of how much you care
then tear them into shreds because
he'll never feel the same way about you.
11) Carve his name into your arm because
that's the only way you'll ever be able to feel him
on your skin again. And do it over and over
and over until your hands shake.
12) Lastly, no matter how many sleeping pills you take,
you will (still) wake up in the middle of the night screaming,
YOU USED TO LOVE ME,
YOU USED TO (LOVE) ME,
YOU USED TO,
(YOU) USED TO.
