In my box of little things I keep just for my own mind, 

there lies all the things I never say. Things I refuse to be true, even to myself. 

They could be moments, feelings, or thoughts that have wandered over the horizon and off the Earth. 

it could be how I never stopped thinking about you. 

it could be the scarf I refuse to give away -

it could be the mixtapes I keep tucked away for my own...

Fall into me, bring me back to Earth, O gravity, for I am nothing without you. 
Too often am I swept away by my feet by the promises of love
