There's no problem with waiting, but don't let that be the only thing you do. When that person comes to you, and surely they will, don't be so overwhelmed by finally finding someone that you put them up on a pedestal when in reality they aren't everything you thought they were. Word of advice, once you meet this person, just remind yourself to take things slowly. Take a breath. Sometimes we get so attached, we give all our love away too quickly and then leave none for ourselves.

Was our love a work of art
before the painting fell apart
(?)

Lonely parking lot kitty
I see you late at night
I see you, do you see me
or am I out of sight

I watch you from far away
and four stories above
I see you, a lonely stray
looking for some love

I wonder where's your family
Here, I'll give you mine
I'll be you and I'll be free
Maybe then things will be fine(?)

the truth cannot save you

I always tear up
when you come
across my mind

Because nothing makes me
happier
and
nothing makes me
sadder
than you.

C'est la belle vie
the words escape quietly from my lips
they float silently to the floor and settle there
the words are so quiet, so small
I can't be sure they ever really left my mouth
But there they are, sitting comfortably on the floor
They look up at me from below, questioning them self
I think about repeating them, maybe to reaffirm their meaning
but the sounds don't quite make it past my tongue
So I sit there in silence
with some fallen words
laying on the floor.

I wish
there was
a way

to know
you're in
the good
old days

before they
become the
good old
days.

Achy stomachs
Strained hearts
Sickly feelings
Anxiety
Fear
=
Love

Love Sick
&
Sick of Love

Two years have passed
we both have changed
but we're here at last
it wasn't arranged

It's been a while
but we're here again
I've missed your smile
my dear old friend

You've grown a lot
and so have I
who would have thought
you'd be my guy

paddling out into the deep blue
and smiling in the sun
I've fallen so hard for you
during these days of fun

Our days together are numbered now
I wish it wasn't so
by my heart can allow
space for you, my beau

You make me feel so light and free
like no one has before
when I'm with you, I can simply be
and never worry about more.

I treasure what you've given me
and hold it close to my heart
I get so worried and so scared
when I think of us apart.

Rain falls in abundance
The music keeps playing
People get up to leave
But the rain doesn't stop me

I hop up on stage
And dance to the music
This is the moment
And it is all mine.

The grass tickles my legs
As I step off the porch
And strain my neck
To look at the twinkling
Worlds above me

The sense of wonder
and mystery
overpower the sounds
of passing cars and
chirping crickets

This is my night
With the stars.

I haven't seen you in 6 years
You've seldom entered my thoughts
I have not shed many tears
I'm not the one who fought

To be fair, neither did you
Not that you thought of me
Perhaps just once out of the blue
That's just the way it will be

You reached out to my to brother
And didn't talk to me
You just preferred the other
It's me you don't want to see

Oh well, that's the way things go
there's nothing I can do
I will just take it slow
And try to forget about you.

Each night I ask the stars above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

The wish to be with someone
to be with you
Conflicts with my eternal
wish to be free.

Adrenaline and fear
pump through my heart
As I see the words
RIP Corey
everywhere
I try to find out
if this is you
No one is answering me
quickly enough
I begin to imagine the worst
I had seen you just a few hours ago
Could you really be gone
Then my heart tries to slow
when I read it is not you
but another unfortunate soul.

You show up unexpected
a pleasant surprise

How overjoyed I am
to be reunited with you

You'll only stay a little while
but I am so grateful for the time I get

The days pass on quickly
things almost feel like they used to

Before we grew up
and carved our own paths

But then you must leave again
You wake me up to say goodbye

I give a bleary farewell
it feels more like a dream

I love you, I say
You reply, "I love you too. A lot."

You close the door
I fall back asleep

I wake up and
creep into the hallway

I look for you
in the den where you should be

But you are gone
and the house lays silent.

Risk
Is
Risque

The light beams through the shades
I roll away from the brightness
And smile as I see your sleeping face
How pure and innocent you appear
Like an angel sent to make me forget
All the negativity in the universe
I see the rising and falling of your bare chest
I feel the life pulsing through you as I caress your arm
You moan so lightly I cannot be sure you ever made a sound
Your eyes slowly open and a golden smile spreads across your face
You are here
In this moment
With me
That is all that will ever matter.

I've been so close to love
Right on the verge
I could feel it
But then it was cut abruptly
And now, I'm just
left with this ache
This burrow of what
could've been
but will never be.

All things begin and all things end
After two months of joy and fun
You said we were just friends
It's all been said and done

That really ***** and hurts a lot
I was beginning to love you
You were always in my thoughts
I thought our love was true

I was falling so hard for you
I thought you felt the same
I guess you didn't feel it too
Who is there left to blame

Was I completely blind
How come I couldn't see
Was I missing all the signs
What is wrong with me

Could I have done something differently
It was all going so well
I just don't get how this came to be
I guess I was under your spell.

We started talking
It was no big deal
It probably wouldn't last
But then I began to feel
This warmth inside my chest
And cheek to cheek grins
I couldn't wait to discover the rest
And continue these pleasurable sins
It was all wrong
and definitely risky
But I was strong
And a little frisky
I would give us a chance
And see where it went
You had me in a trance
And I couldn't relent
This is going really well
and I'm hoping for the best
You have me in your spell
It's so much better than I would've guessed.

Oh, what can I say about you, my dear
You're my one and only big brother
I am so happy when you are here
What would we do without each other
You're my hero, that's who you are
Regardless of whether we argue or fight
I love you more than the moon and stars
And more than day and night
Saying goodbyes are always tough
But I know I will see you again
No need to focus what is rough
You're my other half and my friend.

And as the embers
faded away
into the night

the fire, crackling
with many memories,
took its final
breath.

I wonder how many corners there are in the world.

Smiling
is
a
universal
language.

I fell for you
a long time ago
I wasn't thinking
what did I know
you were the new guy
the hottest one here
so I would talk to you
and push aside my fear
it didn't work out
but that's okay
maybe you'd notice me
some other day
and after much waiting
that day has come
it is me
to whom you have run.

This definitely *****
But more for you
since I can still sleep at night

I hope you sit there
filled with regret
realizing that I was right.

Look what you've done
Are you happy
One stupid mistake
and now you've lost me

I wrote you poetry
that you didn't deserve.
