you're the magic that holds the sky up

it's become strangely certain to me that all along you've been unattainable. stowed away in some green glass bottle girls like me aren't allowed to drink from. preposition at the end of the sentence. just for you. it'd be easier to take if the bottle glowed a little dimmer.

i can't help but wonder if all the time i spent wising up to the fact that my smile was merely unbidden was spent by you becoming weary. it never occurred to me till now that my conversation might have been unwelcome. ah, in this paragraph, the author will continue to assume she'd been given airplay in the boy's mind.

i only ever wanted to be something more than another pair of feet under the table.

it's funny what we find important on a day to day basis. one day i'll have a head of gray and wonder why i can't remember the cause of each. i know now, though. it's because people forget menial heartbreaks. which really wasn't a heartbreak at all. it was more like a heart paper cut.

what's especially funny is that i think i was over this a long time ago and was having too much fun with the thinking thinking thinking to ever take notice.
