it all ends the same a friend or a lover a loss is a loss is a loss

i used to dream of being so strong nothing could shake me. now. i am. so strong. that nothing shakes me. and all i dream is to soften.

you ask if we can still be friends i explain how a honeybee does not dream of kissing the mouth of a flower and then settle for its leaves

there is a list of questions i want to ask but never will there is a list of questions i go through in my head every time i’m alone and my mind can’t stop itself from searching for you there is a list of questions i want to ask so if you’re listening somewhere here i am asking them
