My Dog Loved Me More Than You Did

You leaned against the fence and told me about your family. I wanted to just kiss you and hug you and look at all those stupid, beautiful lights with you.

When It’s Just You And Your Insomnia

Insomniacs fall into nostalgia too easily. When it’s just you, you and all this lonely, you’ll start to dive into memories you normally wouldn’t in the daytime.

Maybe I Will Always Love You

That night, you were just a dime a dozen in Hollywood. But for the first time in so long, I came alive when you spoke to me.

What It Felt Like To Love You

Every song that’s ever given me tingles. Every hug that reminded me why humans need to touch. Every moonlit secret that traveled from my lips to yours.

I Am The Girl Your Mother Warned You About

You think there is an olive branch in my eyes, but I am not one to surrender. Wave your flags and admit your own defeat. I will break them before they ever have a chance to break me.
