"I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." -Philippians 1:6


Going through these old messages

I didn’t keep them all

I wish I could go back and change what I did

I never meant to fall


Maybe it was meant to break

Maybe we were never made to be

But I still wish we made it out ok

Cause I can’t stop hearing your name


And everytime it sounds 

I can help but wonder

Do you still think of me

Like I still think of you?


I know I’ve moved on

But it hasn’t changed my doubts

We ended on a bad note

I can feel it still


The tension it built

And the lies that we said

The regrets that I have

Wish I could take it all back


It’s too late now

but I hope you know

I still think of you

And I hope you’re okay


I just hope you still remember me

Not as the one who did what she promised never to do 

but as the one who loved 

and made a mistake


Or more as one who loved,

loved too many for her to handle

so she chose to lose

in a gambling game 


Even if the game cost her 

all of her money

I hope that’s how you remember me

Because I know that’s how I remember myself


I’ve lost that girl now

and I’m a woman fighting off the moon

because it was under that same moon

That I sinned against you


And it is under her same name

That I still am

But under a new vow

To protect even if it means hurting myself 


Because it killed me to see you so angry

So destroyed

Because you thought I was someone I was not

But I did too


So even though I lost that girl

It’s just another missing piece of me

as I’m still the Broken, Big Puzzle

And you’re a part of me forever
