Paradise

It’s been some time since I felt present in my own life

but I’m here now I’m getting there

It’s hard to imagine you as a stranger

but isn’t that how it’s supposed to be

It’s hard to face the truth 

but once you do you can do anything

the truth is I love you

I really do it actually doesn’t scare me as much as the rest does

I think I can live with myself

I used to search to be wanted

but when I actually did it scared me

I depended on other’s thoughts of me

I wanted them to understand

but they don’t care 

so why should I

they don’t understand me

no one will

but sometimes I think it would be nice if someone did

I thought that’s something you could do

I understood you

you were someone I could love

a normal life didn’t seem so bad with you

when I imagined it

it was like a paradise 

anything could have been with you

but paradise isn’t real 

paradise is something you only dream of

I know you’re real and that’s enough
