"Stop waiting and be free. Of me- put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element." -The Time Traveler's Wife


We were once a perfect couple.
Taking walks on the beach every Friday night gazing at the stars.
You would play your guitar and I’d sing along with you
To whatever tune described our moods.
Every kiss I captured was one sweet memory and
It’s still stuck inside of me.

Like most relationships, ours didn’t last.
But my feelings for you remain the same as the first day I met you

What do I do when I’m in love with you and you don’t love me?
It’s a whole catastrophe.
What do I do when my heart stops beating when you give me that smile?
It feels like a fantasy.
What do I do when I feel so lonely and you’re not there?
It’s like the world’s empty.
I need you more than I ever need myself
So can you please answer me?
What do I do?

I know you fell in love again with her.
That’s okay.
You’re the lucky one who experiences love while
I still experience this broken heart.
I remember when we sang our song all night long.
I remember when we danced in the rain.
I hope you don’t do the same things with her.
Because if you do, what would you do if I found out?

What do I do when I’m in love with you and you don’t love me?
It’s a whole catastrophe.
What do I do when my heart stops beating when you give me that smile?
It feels like a fantasy.
What do I do when I feel so lonely and you’re not there?
It’s like the world’s empty.
I need you more than I ever need myself
So can you please answer me?
What do I do?

What do I do if I can’t let go of you after all these months separated?
What do I do if I see you kiss her right in front of my shattered eyes?
What will you do when I come up to you at your door step at midnight asking you?

What do I do when I’m in love with you and you don’t love me?
It’s a whole catastrophe.
What do I do when my heart stops beating when you give me that smile?
It feels like a fantasy.
What do I do when I feel so lonely and you’re not there?
It’s like the world’s empty.
I need you more than I ever need myself
So can you please answer me?
What do I do?

What do I do?
I’ll just let you go…
