So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

-- The Story Of Us (Taylor Swift)

~

The Other Side

He dreams in colour, bright as fire
She jolts awake from the blur of black-and-white

He falls in love too fast, too short
She never learns the art of letting go

He says I
She says you

He makes mistakes
She teaches herself to let the words slip by

He forgives and forgets
She forgives

He starts
She waits
He stops
She waits

He wonders if she even loves him
She thinks if you only knew how much

He sketches graphs and navigates equations
She strings words together from a sea of emotions

He tugs her close, smiles bright
She struggles to contain her heart

He speaks of forever like it’s months, days
She speaks of forever like eternity and a day

He says sometimes, you really make me sad
She spends nights holding her breath under a waterfall of tears

He burns her bridges
She stops building them

(If people were rain)
He was (heart-stopping) hurricane
She was (the) drizzle (that never died out)

He collects hearts in a jar
She wears hers on her sleeve and tries hard to believe

He says sorry, goodbye
She says it’s okay, I forgive you

He wonders if she means it
She wonders if he knows be happy means this is how much I love you

He watches
She smiles
He weakens in relief
She smiles
He lets the guilt dissipate
She smiles

He tells the world they’ve both moved on
She has eyes that never learned to tell lies the way her lips have

He lives in colour, bright as fire
She learns to get used to the black-and-white
