english teachers detest me
because i never capitalize my i’s
but they never once bothered
to come and ask me why

uppercase is a privilege
at least, it is in my mind.
it’s reserved for war heroes
or a painter who is blind

i have done nothing remarkable
i have hardly even tried
everything good i’ve done
is eventually cast aside

why do i deserve an uppercase?
or for that matter, why do you?
we’ve done plenty of bad
when there’s plenty of good to do

english teachers detest me
because i never capitalize my i’s
but i will have reason to someday
and i hope that is not a lie
One day you'll find the person who makes you smile.
And I mean really smile -
When your eyes crinkle and the corner of your lips raise ever so slightly
And your teeth burst out like rays of sunshine from the ocean's horizon

One day you'll find the person who makes you laugh
And I mean really laugh -
When you genuinely can't stop
And your sides ache and you gasp for air

One day you'll find the person who makes you happy
And I mean really happy -
When you catch yourself dancing for no good reason
Or singing at the top of your lungs because joy needs to be expressed

And when you find the person who makes you feel and do all these three things
Never let them go.

reciprocation



Just tried to phone you.

Didn't answer the call.

I hate calls.

Why did I call anyways?

Why didn't I call for so long?

If I say I do not miss you it's because knowing someone means being close to them.

Thus you weren’t far away to begin with.

So why call?

To talk?

Can't be it.

I love a good talk and yet words alone are empty apparently.

If they were not I should love calls - but I don't.

To see you then? No.

To touch you I guess.

****** warmth is irreplaceable.

To be true to myself possibly.

If you’re so close I shouldn't stay away.

It's a lie.

I hate lies.

But I am losing myself and find myself lying a lot lately.

That's probably because I catched a cold during the years.

I've got such a simple mind.

I want to stay at one place to live there, die there.

A place where you live as well.

Visiting wasn't ever my thing.

In fact I never understood that concept.

Leaving an ecstatic sensation full of hope, full of promise.

Yet full of sorrow if we ever dare to look back.
