which is why I refuse to ever let you go

“I was so undeserving,

And yet, you were
so relentless,
I pushed - you pulled
I wept - you embraced
I bled - you repaired
I faltered - you shushed
I stopped - you smiled
I was a disaster -
the worst of its kind
And yet you still
had the audacity
to let me know
that I was beautiful.”

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
