You don't have to be loved, to be love.


Helena, my heart betrayed my mind.
I keep falling, calling, drowning.
Helena, I'm sorry,
For playing my part, badly as I knew.
I wish that I was, as strong as you needed your lover to be.
Helena, moment was the way to live for me,
Until you showed me the path to forever,
And I promised to protect you from myself,
But I failed.
Helena, I really wish I didn't,
Then, you would stay,
And walk with me through the path of forever,
Wishing us strength.
Helena, I miss you, don't you miss me too?
I know that you do,
So won't you come back?
I swear, I didn't know for the better days,
Until you showed the way,
But I was scared,
To follow you.
Helena, missing you is like a fire,
And tonight I'm burning alive,
Again, I'll go over my pride,
Just to hear your broken voice from my love.
Helena, you said that I didn't care enough,
When you asked me what we are,
And I kept silent, because I couldn't find it in my bones,
The voice worth enough of your love,
To make you stay.
Helena, it hurts like hell, listening to our song,
Since you have been gone,
Searching for another place to call home,
And I am a broken bone, in the shallow soul,
But sometimes, I listen to it on repeat,
Just to fall apart, put myself messily back together, and
Waiting to feel like I belong again.
Helena, please, keep shining through the darkest corners,
Let your soul be connected to mine,
And maybe, one day, I'd look myself in the mirror, holding you close,
As you outshine the light,
Or I'll be listening to our song without falling apart,
Proudly saying that I've been in your heart,
And that I've been over your bright eyes,
For quite awhile.
Helena, for now, I'll stay right here.
A broken bone, in the shallow soul,
And my heart will breaks a thousand times more,
Every time they call your name across the High School hall,
Messy park or through the open bathroom door,
And I'll keep writing, just to feel you close.
Helena, please remember that you are the only part of me that I wouldn't change.
And I kept smoking through all the four seasons,
I noticed you looking at me, in the messy park, from his hold,
While I held my cigarette between two fingers,
Like I used to hold the parts of your hair.
And with every inhale and exhale,
I tore myself apart,
While you kept looking at my eyes, I couldn't help but wonder,
Helena, have you noticed me falling apart,
And longing for your hand in mine?
