I quickly scrambled into the house Nervously rambling about what I got at the store After longingly talking on the phone for months He slowly closed the door

We passionately kissed, It felt surprisingly natural After virtually bonding online The time slowly passed, the day finally arrived And now this love was perfectly mine

Anxiety He barks and shakes and cries He feels unsafe

Love He licks and cuddles and jumps He feels attached

I hate to see you suffer Struggling to stay alive You’re in such pain And just trying to survive

Depression is a bastard Putting lies inside your head I know you don’t believe me But you’re being misled

This invisible sickness Makes you feel so bad I don’t know how to help you It makes me so mad

I hope when we’re together It helps sooth your brain I’m not trying to fix you I just hope to ease the pain

Have I betrayed myself? I said I’d never fall in love again Now I’ve done it and it’s bringing me stress

Why is there such a lure to love? When I’m out of it I swear I’ll never go back But then the feeling is so good I can’t help myself

Are the good times worth the stress and anxiety of it all? This one was supposed to be different And it is in so many ways But I’m still finding myself falling apart

I knew I was getting into long distance But this is really so hard I hate the uncertainty that comes with this But it’s part of the uncharted territory

Five damn years Why does it take me so long To finally do what’s best for me

I told myself I wouldn’t do this again I thought this time is different But really you’re the same as him

I’m embarrassed of you both So dysfunctional in different ways How can someone like me get sucked down by people so lame

I get so hung up on sticking to the plan I think this is as good as it’s gonna get

I have to remember to keep choosing myself Instead of losing myself

Is this just a temporary love? Is there such thing as happily ever after? Can we make this thing work? Or are we setting ourselves up for disaster?

I love you so much But is it realistic? Neither of us wants to move The thought of it makes me sick

Our perfect ending seems just out of reach But one of us would be unhappy I don’t know what to do I have to be patient But I can’t help getting too sappy

Only time will tell

Sometimes I just feel so tired I have so many things to do I try to romanticize my life But I can’t do this too

I want to work out I want to be meditate But my brain doesn’t have the capacity I end up doing the bare minimum And wishing that I had less apathy

The darkness is so mysterious It gives me such a scare Being in it alone Makes me so aware

That the world is a scary place That I find it hard to trust I’m trying to be more open But I’m barely breaking through the crust

Isn’t it romantic? Finding love in quarantine I don’t think this would have happened Without the help of this tragic scene

I hate to appreciate Something so awful But it opened my eyes And I am so thankful

I’m so happy to have found you My favorite love We ended up together Just needed a shove

For a while I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere I felt I couldn’t be myself I was trying to be this version of me It wasn’t true and I needed help

I needed a wake up call The pandemic helped me see this I realized that my relationship was bad I must stop trying to be his

I opened my eyes I could finally see I needed to drop this dead weight So I could finally be me
