Honey (A Song) Poem by Jade Leven

I wish I never woke up in love with you
I wish you never captivated me
if I hadn’t told you so much so suddenly
maybe it wouldn’t hurt so endlessly

the word “important” seems so vague
it has two different meanings for you and I
for me it means the very best thing
for you it’s just something you like

honey
if you know what I mean
it’s not Romeo and Juliet
if he doesn’t show up for the scene
I’m struggling to tell you
I wish I had never loved you like this
but it’s too late now
honey

now you try again to be better
I feel I’m holding our world together
what if I’m falling into you again
I guess I’ll have to live through another end

honey
if you know what I mean
it’s not Romeo and Juliet
if he doesn’t show up for the scene
I’m struggling to tell you
I wish I had never loved you like this
but it’s too late now
honey

I’m 3,000 miles from where I belong
and everything I say just seems so wrong
you’re as deep in my heart as you can get
and I appreciate it, but don’t forget
we can always be closer,
we can always be closer

honey
if you know what I mean
it’s not Romeo and Juliet
if he doesn’t show up for the scene
I’m struggling to tell you
I wish I had never loved you like this
but it’s too late now
honey

honey
I need you more than ever
tell me we can at least try
to make it to forever
it’s agonizing that I can’t tell you
that I’ve always loved you like this
but it’s too late now
honey
