They waved me on over

But we hadn’t looked in months

Not with our eyes connected

But I still lunged at once

We talked and talked

And we laughed and smiled

I was floating the whole day long

Feeling like a little child

–

Here is your daily reminder

Your smile is beautiful

And my fingers ache for your hair

Will you stay a while?

I don’t mean to stare

Or at least for you to catch me

And I get so nervous talking

But I wonder about a ‘we’

I listen to music

And my mind plugs you in

Everything reminds me of you

Where have you been?

the space race

you elate me up and up/ i hit the clouds and float on through/ pass the atmosphere’s last layer/ where the stars meet the blue

i’m dancing on the moon, my darling/ skipping over each and every crater/ spinning up and around saturn’s rings/ and continuing on to jupiter later

the galaxy spins round and round/ and the cosmos try to match my pace/ but i’m on top of the world, baby/ it’s our own space race

again

is this redemption?/ am i free again?/ i can love him without worry/ it’s been a while since then

can we be us once more?/ is this my last chance?/ i thought i had lost him/ until he gave me another glance

i can really smile now?/ it’s that simple?/ i don’t deserve this/ but to trade, would be sinful

hi, again:)

i know you’re reading this/ because you told me so/ i hope you get my letter soon/ and things will not be so cold

i like sitting in your car/ even though it can be hard/ i like sitting next to you/ even when our relationship is in shards

you make me happy/ and i know we aren’t holding hands/ but i like that too/ though you may not understand

scratches and patches

Stagnant we remain throughout the summer/ we blush and lean together/ yet it’s not our old solid connection/ New ties ensure we remember

We sound like a taylor swift song/ the ones that end sans another/ a broken record that begins each call/ every night and one more note stutters

Until we update our outdated machine/ still missing the worn, loved dents and scratches/ but grants us a tune-up/ to create our new song with patches

it’s summer y’all :)

the summer is here/ the summer of a thousand things/ the summer of love/ the summer of tethers and strings

the rain doesn’t skip a beat/ the thunder rolls on in/ the skies fill with grey/ and lets the sun go for a swim

the gap between the clouds come/ and it breaks apart the storms/ the floods all halt/ and towards the ground, bugs swarm

the summer is here/ and i step outside/ the smell of grass and rain greet me/ the season where all senses collide

my baby<3

he blinks up, bleary eyes/ just to slowly close them again/ and open his arms in a stretch/ as he claims my bed as his den

i lay down next to him/ and pull over a fluffy blanket/ he cuddles in its warmth/ and we soon take it for granted

alas, he extends once again/ and he allows his belly a rub/ his fur is soft and he yawns/ as my plans for the day are scrubbed

His whiskers twitch as he awakens/ his paws knead my bed/ the dough he prepares my sheets into/ are wrinkled from our nap in our bread

and yeah

I miss you when the lights shut off/ and I miss you when I click off my phone/ I miss you every time we hang up/ and I miss you now that I’m all alone

I know I was who gave up/ and I know I said goodbye to us/ I know I am the one to blame/ and I know I turned us to dust

Here I am in my room/ and here I am completely cornered/ Here I am saying I’m sorry/ and here I am not moving forward

I miss you every day/ and I know I broke us both/ Here I am with no way back/ and all because I broke our oath

Just three stanzas

click and clack/ tip and tap/ all day, all night/ always another lap

love and loss/whispers and screams/ around we go/ all nightmares and dreams

But to you/ or to me/ or to us/ or to what we used to be?

Yeah, this pretty much sucks and I’m putting this together in two minutes. Yeah, I keep droning on about love and honestly? I have no clue what it means. I know when I love someone, but to love and to be in love are two completely different things, as I’ve come to realize. And god, to love and to like are polar opposites. Like gives a possibility of love, but no guarantee. It can change in a week. But to love? That doesn’t mean you like them, at least not necessarily actively as a crush where you want to pursue them. However, it does mean that you would be willing to give up a lot just to talk to the person or to sit with them in silence and it’s comfortable or to risk all consequences just to keep that connection.

someone to talk to

the shirts i find on my floor/ they still smell like you/ my scrunchies have a faint tinge/ and all my sweaters too

i try to rolls my eyes/ and i want to look away/ and yet no matter how hard it is/ i can’t come back to stay

i keep our photos up on my wall/ because i insist we’re still friends/ but we rarely talk anymore/ at least since we saw our end

i want to keep busy/ i write and write and write/ and just save it all as a draft/ because i’m afraid i hold on too tight
