i sold my soul to buy a plane ticket to see you tonight. i left a note on the runway before take off. just something to remind this city that i'll still consider it home, i just need to get away for a while. lately i've just been a third coast boy dreaming of a midwest sunset behind a west coast skyline. i always want what i can't have. just show me love in the most purest of forms. i want to make your eyes light up when you say my name. i want to wake up to digital love notes with makeshift smiles and hearts. you are the only person that can start my day in a "i'm on top of the world" kind of way. until then i'll steal glances and lock them behind glass with a sign that says "break if you're ever feeling lonely". i've been keeping track of my smiles from the first day i met you. one for every time you made me feel okay inside my skin. two for every time you kissed my face and told me i was perfect. i guess i expect too much from this heart that was only meant for beating. i wish i had known you were only meant for leaving.
