Song: 10CC - I'm Not in Love
(listening to this song though headphones whilst sitting on the roof looking at the stars at about 2 am is a pretty great feeling, not gonna lie)

rinse and repeat,
i haven't had proper sleep in a few weeks,
i feel weak.
isn't love supposed to make us strong?
my tiny thoughts for you
becoming something larger than space,
the depths i have tried to hide
in my laughter and smile for you—
you can sense it,
you can feel it,
but we don't talk about it.
it's something that i can't hide much longer
and i would love to hold you,
i would love to love you like that,
but what if things don't work out?
what if we fall apart
like everything else that was built
from ground up?
even buildings can fall and stars can die—
can something that we've formulated
in our heads cease to be too?
unfold the creases of my heart
to find your name scattered around
like fallen leaves.
every leaf has its day,
so when the seasons change
i think about you.
i know that life is short
and love won't last,
but if things change for us someday—
i would rather have a past
that tried to fall in love with you
than a past that denied
having any feelings for you at all.
there's no other way to say this.  

i need you.
i want you.
i love you.

fuck how it turns out,
i want to find out.
