will it push you away
when i ask you to stay?
set myself up for heart break
the moment we first touched
now i need your connection
and you don’t feel a thing
I’ve been frozen in time
incapable of moving forward,
you awakened my soul
lit a fire behind my eyes
in different places and spaces
and our intentions aren’t the same
you’re going to break me
when this comes to an end
but it will be worth it
only if we can still be friends
