Growing Up is a Let Down
He’s turning 30 soon, and he had a lot growing to do. So, he borrowed time and space, packed all of this things, got out of your hair, and moved out of the state.
As time and space grew, his love did, too. He didn’t want it to spoil or go to waste, so he tried to give it away: in rooms you’d hate, and in traps you didn’t make. Of course, he’s bound to make some mistakes, but he’s growing every day.

“Couldn’t catch a break until I met you / You break rules, promises–even hearts, too / Now that I’m broke up and of no use / Let me warn you: be careful what you ask for; it might happen to you, never for you”

– 24/7

– Yours
