Fall in love with me,
\nClose your eyes and let my voice guide you.
\nLet me show you just how blind love can be,
\nBecome my favorite 3 AM poem,
\nThe one I can never finish because perfection is not rushed,
\nAnd because I can never stop writing about you.<\/p>\n
I loved you, but I never had the courage to tell you.
\nThere was always a feeling that you would outgrow me,
\nAs you moved on without me,
\nI realized no matter how much I tried to hold on,
\nYou let go and put the idea of us away,
\nSomewhere between the 4-hour calls and the 4 years of silence.<\/p>\n
I often create an entire universe that revolves off you and me,
\nBut in this parallel universe I lose.
\nIt turns out no matter where we are wrong seems to be the right word for us,
\nSo as you lock away the feelings you have for me,
\nAnd I set mine free,
\nI finally have the courage to close a chapter of my life,
\nA chapter that has been opened for way too long,
\nAnd a chapter you wrote off way too early.<\/p>\n
I guess it is true,
\nIf you love something, let it go.
\nIf it is truly meant for you it will return.
\nI let you go when all I wanted to do was hold on for dear life,
\nBut I was always the one who came back,
\nMaybe because I loved you too much,
\nTo see anyone else as right for me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
