Half As...

I’m incomplete without you

Half crazy

Half in love

Half wanting to hate you

Because I remember that time when you were my better half,

When we were both half-cut with love

When date nights were only half as good as laying in front of a movie

And then came that time when you said we were fine with your half smile but we all know half the truth is a whole lie

So our conversations ended in half the time

And then your hugs became half-assed,

I was always glass half full and you went straight to empty

And now texting me back is like your job half the time

Where did all the times go that we couldn’t put our phones down

The times where we would take silly pictures and laugh at each others faces,

It half kills me to look at you now ’cause I remember a time when I couldn’t take my eyes off you

Your half brown eyes had me mesmerized every time we spoke

But now I know accepting defeat is only half the battle of letting go

And so my mind plays back the picture perfect memories,

The ones that made it so I only hold her half as tight as I once held you

And I know he’s not gonna keep you half as close as he should,

Half as close as I would.
