15 Did you climb the mountain to see the world, or for the world to see you?
My little finger taps unconsciously as my thoughts wander to the warmth of your hand An electric shiver runs softly down my spine. Then my awareness returns to my little finger resting once more Besides the cold air leaving me trembling. I close my eyes and hold my own cold palm with my hand Thinking of your eyes inside my mind.

Thinking of you..
As I read your words, I wish I could reach through this screen to hold your shaking hand. Because no matter how poetically I write something, or how lovingly I stare at your eyes, I don't think you could comprehend how completely obsessed I am with you. You have to say it a million times because you think the quiet, means I'm slipping away. But listen to the space between my breaths: I am here. You cannot lose me even if you tried. And believe me when I say You give me butterflies by just reaching for my hand. This love isn't a tightrope we aren't going to fall off. We are standing on solid ground created by the way we laugh at nothing at all or the way our eyes meet in a room with hundreds of others. or the way we communicate how much we care through poetry. How long will it take for you to notice? I am crazy for you. You are crazy for me. We aren't unbalanced. We are equal.

as I read your words
The definition of small talk is: "An informal, polite type of conversation, typically used between people that do not know each other very well." If small talk, is something that happens between people that do not know each other very well, why am I finding myself sharing fake smiles, and bringing up classes at school, or asking "how've you been?", to someone I once knew so well? Someone that I didn't even need to greet to start a conversation. Is that normal? To go from seeing someone everyday because you choose to to struggling to keep speaking? Isn't small talk is supposed to be easy? Why are the right words, always trapped in my throat, and always too heavy to come out my mouth?

small talk
You complain about how hard it's been for you. You have everything I could ever want. My heart has been ripped in half and a word never came out of my smile.

Yet I kept quiet.
Until april… I guess I don't know why I am writing about this I really isn't that significant well I guess today it is Because the joyous chorus song became a melancholy tune And my normally untroubled walk back from lindy Wasn't all that magical. And I know in a few weeks I'll see her face again. I feel like being alone And I never feel like being alone. It's just not my personality But somehow she shapes my personality more than anyone else. My. Best. Friend. I just wish I had a proper goodbye But for now Until april… I guess

Until april. I guess
And there I was- barely standing, trembling My racing heart concealed by the smile on my face. Do I run, or fire my gun, or let it be? My fragile body seemed to shake with each rapid thud But my eyes said it all. How come, through all I've done This was the scariest moment of my life. You told me I was blushing, after you realized the truth. and when you told me that I loved you even more. All I could think in that moment was this isn't fair.

Confession
You said it would be "okay" if we broke up because we would still be friends. And I know, chances are I'm overthinking everything but I don't like the fact that for me, it means my heart being ripped in half, and for you, it just means "Okay".

"okay"
You said that you wished we could be normal like every other pair. I hope you know that even if we're not a Fairytale Couple, that doesn't mean that you don't make me feel any less magical.

Fairytale Couple
I used to look for a place to run away From all of my fears. A home That I could call mine. where I could hide from the heavy rain of opinions that came crashing down like meteors on earth. Before I found you, I used to think safety meant building walls thick enough to block out the sun. But you showed me that home isn't a fortress; its simply the quiet space between us. You became the atmosphere that made those heavy stones burn into ashes before they could ever touch my skin. With you, the sky stops falling. and on my worst days, I find solace in your arms.

solace
It's all happening tomorrow And I know, it doesn't need to happen tomorrow but people say that pain goes and the what-if's stay. And the worst part is, I don't know how to tell people that no I'm not ok. I don't know how to tell people how the butterflies have been eating me from the inside And only you can make them stop. I don't know how to tell people how despite what they say regret would feel better than the way I feel when you leave Its all happening tomorrow and here I am comforting someone with everything I have I'm so selfish because the only reason I'm comforting them is for them to comfort me tomorrow.
