Story

Hello my old friend, how long has it been?

Still dreaming of you is my most naive sin

But you’re still running through my mind

It wouldn’t change a thing if I was blind

Because your soul was beautiful and pure

For my grief and sadness the only cure

Happy birthday star crossed lover

We both know how it feels to be alone under our covers

I need to let you go

I need to be alone

I have to stop fanaticizing but I cannot stop moralizing

Why can’t you be my friend?

Why does it always have to end?

Today is your birthday my star crossed lover

Nevertheless, you’re all alone under your covers

I’m always in pain ’cause I always let in

I was burning in hell when it felt like heaven

My books haven’t been read in a while

My lips forgot what it feels like to smile

I’m stressed out and anxious, still thinking about you

My heart is writing poems, preparing for a life without you

Happy birthday star crossed lover

It is so cold under your covers

I need to let you go

I need to be alone

I have to stop overthinking

but I can’t swim and my heart is sinking

You’re not even your own friend

We both knew it had to end

My star crossed lover, today is your birthday and you are so sad

Today is your birthday and you are all alone in your bed
