Teach Me

Next thing i know, you’re gone. If i ever meant anything to you, you would stay awhile. I need to learn.

Teach me how to be strong, and not need you in the middle of the night.

Teach me how not to miss you, when i listen to our favorite songs and visit our favorite place and wish you were there.

Teach me how not to stay up thinking of you. Teach me to remember i have college tomorrow, and that i have places to go. That, this isnt the end. That, i’m meant for bigger things.

Teach me to put myself back together.

Remind me how i walked alone all these years, chasing dreams blindly. And how it felt fine, even when you weren’t around to hold my hand and lead me on.

Make me forget my first kiss. I don't want to hold onto that. For the sake of giving life a fair chance.

Teach me how to turn away, when you’re not loved anymore.

Teach me to unlove. Teach me to turn away when someone hurts you so much you don’t feel anything anymore.

Teach me to hate someone i love.

Teach me to hurt someone i love.

Teach me not to check your facebook profile every chance i get. I don't want to stare at your picture. I want you to disappear from the face of earth. Like you never existed.

Remind me how i was before you came and changed everything. And you know i’ll be fine.
