i miss the moments when it was delicate

where a kiss was nothing more

and those days that i sit and reflect on never occurred, if only.

i'd like to imagine different ways where it could've ended better, or never began

and maybe my mind could rest without thoughts of doubt creeping through

if everything had gone right i wouldn't be here wondering if it did

shouldn't i know?

am i truly just ignoring all signs that tell me to beware?

is something terribly wrong?

if there wasn't why would i ask?

am i just pretending it's perfect,

to convince myself i am content?

it's all far from true

maybe I'm closer to torment than i let on

i want this

is that why i sugarcoat my pains?

is this what i fight for?

a chance for me to be silent so you can forget?

i always remember

no amount of forgiveness helps me let go

all these memories can't make up for the moments you have tainted

all for you to have your way

take me back when it was delicate

icky rainy days helps with inspiration. it can help draw your mood to a more intimate solitude so you can write whatever may come to mind. it's interesting, isn't it?
