Always Already - La Luna

The older I get

The more I realize that love is a fairy tale told to girls

Boys are told

There is no way to be safe at the same time

There is no for each other

There is only dying, slowly and apart

This is for all

The people who

I used to love

And never say their name anymore

This is for all the times

I’ve packed my life up in a night

This is for all

The long goodbyes

Before morning light

For the feet still walking on uneven floors

For trying to make strangers my family

Searching for something

To get me by

Always already

No asking why

Searching for something

To get me by

This is for all the love I’ve had and lost

This is for the time it took to grow apart

This is for right now

This is for me
