there are so many things that don't make sense

to me, anyway

 

like the interstates,

or how the roads line up

to lead me to you but

i'll never be able to find my way

 

or why i still get lost going to places i've been a thousand times

 

or how

you can love someone so much it feels like you're going to burst

apart

any minute.

 

i still lose my way and my words when i think about you and

it's been driving me crazy for so long it almost feels alright to be

 

not

alright

at all.

 

and i've been so tightly woven into all your branches that i think

i'll start spreading your seeds instead of my own

 

so please don't uproot just yet because

the wind has been stronger than ever and i've never felt so inclined

to let it win
