The Empty Heart
+7I want to leave the past behind forget about all the breaks, sprains, scratches, and dents you ever put in my heart.
The times when you would get me excited then disappoint me.
I told you everything from my happiness, laughter, to my sadness, and even my dark depressions.
But then in some cases you would help me break into the sun and come back on my happy side.
My friends might say your not the right one, that your ugly, that I’m obsessed or even ask me what I see in you.
Well this is what I know you are the right one because you’re the right one for me , your not ugly your gorgeous, I’m obsessed because I like you, and I see everything good that they don’t because when you truly love someone you don’t care about there defaults and you don’t try to change the way they are.
No matter how much you hurt me even though you weren’t even mine I don’t know how that could even happen.
I feel like were linked you make me smile, laugh, you confuse me, and most importantly you listen to me no matter how boring I am for hours.
I might not agree with your tastes in music, or favorite sports, colors, or even holidays. But if we were perfectly alike we might not last we would know everything the other does and boar ourselves to death.
Every time your on my mind there is a smile on my face. Every time your not there is usually not a smile on my face.
No matter how much I complain about everything or how much I don’t there will always be that space in my heart that only you could fill.
I give up on impressing and not being myself to my friends and family if I get in trouble then I do but there is one thing I may never stop fighting for and that is the special place in your heart.
When I listen to the music or do the thing you like to do I cry not because they hurt me and make me upset but that your not here to be listening or helping me learn it.
Learn what you love about it, what made you feel like this was your favorite or why you wanted to tell me how good it was.
Well there is one thing I want you to know and that is no matter how much my friends and family say I am taking this out of proportions is that you will always have that space in my heart but if you decide to destroy that then I will never have that space for you in my heart ever again the warm section filled with happiness laughter and everything you and I love.
