"The seed never sees the flower. It grows knowing it must become more than what it was. It changes because, in growth, all of its potential can be unlocked." - Shane Koyczan


I know what you taste like

I know what you dream at night

I know it isn’t me


I know what you feel like

I know how bad you want her

I know she’s got it better


The smell of your cologne in her hair

And the taste of your lips on hers

It’s dumb of me to hope that you care

The memory of your love is a curse


Remember that football game so many years ago?

I wanted to hold on and never let go

I trembled and shook and every breath was fire on my neck

We loved each other then
