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
