You know the song guardian angel by redjumpsuit apparatus? That adorable little ballad about a perfect true love?
I remember i cried the first tiem i really heard it
i recall shaking, clenching my fists, swallowing saltysweet tears
because it was everything i ever wanted
it's amazing how events and people can change you
because back then, i still had matt
back then, in some insane way, i believed in love
and not just in moments
love as in forever
but now, just a few months later
i can listen to those incredible lyrics
and pretend not to care in the slightest
that no one will ever ever ever
feel that way about me
in a nother lifetime that might have disappointed me
but right now, it just reaffirms the numbness
i'm learning to be alright with just myself
i can accept that atleast in terms of me, there is no such thing as love for ever
it's not that i don't have the memories though
not that i can't create new ones
in the course of my lifetime, my almost 17 years
i have loved and been loved a thousand times over
i loved matt that time we went running
i know that's the best kiss i'll ever have
i loved chris for a moment a few nights ago
when he promised me he'd take me on a road trip if he won the lottery
and most of all i've loved myself
all those times i meet those challenges head on
when i could stand on top of the owrld and say yes i finally did it
when happy was trickling inside my teeth
so i'm not a cynic
i do believe in love, even for me
just not permanent love
only in the isolated memories
because that way you can edit them, wash them off, replace the parts you don't like
it makes you hate people less
really, try it
if you focus on only the good
everyone deserves forgiveness
even if they're still not bothering to ask
no one ever says everything they mean
please don't walk away, please tell me you'll stay
How could nayone possibly walk away from that?
when i see you smile
