Is lying to yourself
Ever worth the second thoughts
Of I’ll be okay—
What if I’m not—
No, I will—
It’ll get better—
But it might not—
I hope so

Because what if
Lying to yourself
Pushes you even deeper into the hurt
And makes the suffering longer
Than any happiness you two once shared

And—
You know you miss the cocky a** attitude
Face—
The annoying childish jokes
It—
One word texts after fights because
Hey, it was still a text

And—
Face—
It—
You miss the messed up
Stupid—
Beautiful idiot—
Who you
Damn
Well
Still love
