Lauren W.

I've got a fast car

and you've got a fast heart

and I'm not talking about the beats

you fall for a girl for a day

and then fade away

it hurts

i felt safe in your arms

like i couldn't be harmed

you were gone

it was quick

you moved from chick to chick with your slick tricks

you're a dick

you call late at night

we hit every red light

i miss you

but why do i miss

all we did was kiss

stop calling me

you reach for my hand

the radio's playing my favorite band

i can't help it

he's the one that got away

the boy who falls every day 

I'll miss you

i met a boy,

who is quiet,

he's got blue eyes like the ocean and blonde hair like his mamas

he kisses me in public and pinky promised not to hurt me

we had two days until i moved 3000 miles away

on our last night we took the long way home and not because the short way was closed

we sang in the car, 
and kissed, 
in the car, 

some love was made for the lights
some kiss your cheek and goodnight

he was wrong for me 
in all the right ways

he was rain on a sunday
and i know that someday
maybe
if we're lucky

our love will be made for the lights

this is a love letter to my heart,,


please, handle with care

there is a "fragile" stamp across the right side
and duct tape throughout the middle

there are flowers growing where he left cracks-

darling, you will be a beautiful garden one day

peonies and sunflowers run through your veins

you will be okay
i promise

maybe it was love
or maybe you loved the way he loved you
or maybe you depended on him to love you
the way you should love yourself

but darling, you will be okay
i promise

flowers need time to bloom

and so do you

I left my home on a wednesday afternoon
the clouds started crying around 3:42
they missed you

my mom always warned me about the drugs in the street
but never about the light blue eyes with a heartbeat

it was love and it was lust and it was 16
it was preteen
it was drama queens and phone screens and everything in between

it was young love
kind of,
sort of,
true love?

it was you
and me
the stars

and the scars

it was april
and it was painful

and i miss you, reminisce you,

love you,

still
