are you ok?

heartbreak is a funny feeling.
i think people write about it because it’s one of those where you say,
it only hurts because there was so much love here.

it’s my favorite kind of feeling.
if you read my work,
they’re all over.

i love those ones where you say,
it’s so big in so many directions!
and there’s nothing to do but be with it.

he made me better at being with these kinds of feelings.
and,
he made me feel a lot of them.

it’s love,
i think,
to know yourself more through someone.

he told me we learned a lot.
he told me it wasn’t my fault.
he told me a lot of things i guess he could only say once it was over.

for a long time, i whispered to myself,
it will be worth it on the other side,
and i’m only here just barely,

but
it
is.

you don’t know how i long i waited to hear him say,
you should keep writing songs and
you’re a good person.

it means a lot,
coming from him.
he’s a good person, too.

i could go on all night.
it’s one of those feelings i have to love
because it just feels

like life.
