i believed every inch of me craved for you incoherently
only to realise i'm actually in need of my own attention
♡________________________________
my mind kept thinking about you
as if nothing else mattered.
my heart kept seeking you out
as if beating would be worthless if it wasn't for you.
i wanted you to hold my hand and keep me close.
take me in your arms
for i thought that's where i belonged.
the bleeding songs of the sea entwined
with the aggressive rhythm of the wind
pictured my desires just right (or so i thought).
but then i realised i'm searching for the love
i should be getting from myself.
all my insecurities were for you
i was scared you'd love me less if you knew about them
when i should have been scared of hating myself.
while i loved the sunsets with you
i forgot to appreciate the one setting in me.
i kept waiting for your love
only to realise i don't have to.
i never failed to degrade my worth.
while i appreciated your dark parts
i forgot to embrace mine.
i don't have to wait
for i can get whatever i desire..!!
