"Don't fall in love with boys who have given their hearts away, because no one will ever ask if you're okay;
you have to be okay because you fel in love with a boy knowing he would never love you back-
but you never told anyone how you convinced yourself that you werre what he needs and
after so many days of saying this, you started to believe it and after so many days of being unloved, you began to unravel
like soft yarn until all that is tying you down to us is ths pile of memories you can't quite untangle yourself from and
even though everyone says you should stop giving him everything, when he comes across your heartstrings,
he says he's too cold to function so you knit yourself into the ugly sweater he wears like an apology
And no one asks why you're still wearing that stupid sweater far, far into summer, and you know if he asked,
you wouldn't tell him it's because he sewed your heart on the sleeve and you don't want to let go.
You'd simply say you have this condition where you're always cold even in hot weather
and you'd leave out the part about how you think he's the sun and without
him you're turning to ice and she's a storm that won't stop haunting you and you promised your mother
you'd be better than this, you promised the stars, you promised yourself."
