GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?


Hey, I left you little voice notes in high hopes that, between the
lyrics of songs I sent you and my cracking voice, there is somewhere
in there proving I showed you how much love I bore for you.

You stayed.
When I can't even show up for myself, you were there for me.
Now I can't even listen to Stay Stay Stay without thinking of you.

I never cared for silence, just that it was nice to sit in it
with someone rather than alone with no one to reach out to.
Alone together, you know, like the song.
Good help is hard to find. But maybe. Just sitting here with me for a while might mend
the cracks in my frail heart?

I stained everyone blue that's why I'm always alone.
All I wanted to be, was to be cared for.
For all the hugs that pieced me back together, for all the phone call rants,
I want to heal again so I can be there for you too when you need me.

Insurmountably.
That is how much.
