"no problem. i don't care. you are you. i am me." <br /> - jang wonyoung


that last summer night i saw you 

a star fell from the sky

i ripped up my heart 

gave you a half

traded for a half of yours

fitting perfectly with each other

our heartstrings tangled together 

knotting too tight to undo


it feels too surreal to explain


you ran to the woods 

and i swam to the beach

strings are not long enough for this


the sun held you captive

only you can end the war


your half aches to be reunited

the blood still stains my chest

groping for that beautiful mess

but getting poisoned instead 


can we please go back to sleep

we woke up before the alarm rang
