Do You Still Love Me Too?

Thanks for the shield, but why now, why me?

You saved a stranger when you once left me

Five years back I needed a sign

You were my north star, then crossed the line

My lungs stutter, the air turns thin

You lead me roofward where the sky lets me in

Up here the city loosens its grip

Breath comes back like a tide to a ship

Your hand on my arm feels like coming home

Laughing in backyards, grass-stained knees, love grown

You cherished me once, held me true

But I look different now, act different too

I'm not the girl your memory knew

So I search the sky wondering, do you still love me too?

You say you liked me 'cause I mirror the past

But I'm not her anymore, that girl didn't last

You're right, I'm broken, cracked at the seams

Still, when I see you, I finally breathe

You're everything good, clean, and bright

Everything I'll never hold tight

You're better off free, untouched by my scars

I stand up, whispering, "Try looking at the stars"

Your hand on my arm feels like coming home

Laughing in backyards, grass-stained knees, love grown

You cherished me once, held me true

But I look different now, act different too

I'm not the girl your memory knew

So I search the sky wondering, do you still love me too?

Do you still love me too?

He's better off looking at the stars than me
