we were 12 and 13 and 14 and
it was us against the world,
you + me = infinity and
we were sadness and heartbreak and toeing the edges of the universe,
saying i want to jump
and we were so, so young,
we were slow ache//slow break[ing points],
please hold on because i'm surrounded by people but
i have nobody else,

we were summer camp and ghost stories and
we still haunt the same old ghost towns,
we were quiet smiles and messages at 3 in the morning,
we were tears clinging onto our eyelashes because
the world was too much,
we were trapped and then you left but
you never left me,
never leave me,
we held each other up and we did our best to understand and
we were flaws that we're still working out.
we are rainstorms,
we are unspoken words,
we are infinite.
we are 16 and
it's us against the world.
for an old friend.

Totally feeling like this right now. Growing up tore me and my best friend apart.
