Texting you every day
Laughing at the silly jokes we made
I was wondering how it would be if we grew up
How wonderful it would be
When you fly to my city
And you'll pick me up, we'll go to Faraway Mystery
I thought my first love was someone else
But every glimpse at you
And I feel that prickle
Of a thousand needles
Burying themselves in my heart
When I realized how beautiful my love
And the devotion we held at so young
But the worst kind of torture
Was watching us fall apart
I still have our chats open
Unused for months
And we come to this weird epiphany
That promises of eternity
Only exist in the novels I write
The poems I can’t recite
Its ludicrous to even say that I could ever replace you
You were my secret diary
Someone who knew every aspect of me entirely
You saw what lies beneath the skin
And you held me everytime I felt like leaving
But I promise to hold on for you
Because one day you and I
We'll meet by chance
Like those novels I write
Hoping that we get our own reunion
One day and I can finally let you know
I didn't need to fall in love
To know it is you I truly loved
You were my best friend
You were my brother
That I mourn the loss of
I'll keep writing to you
Till the day I die
Because we will perish on the soil
We both live in
Perhaps not in this lifetime
But in death we shall be together again
