This isn’t a poem,just my only source
I don’t always say it. Maybe I don’t know how. But I’ve been carrying this thank you in my chest for longer than you know. Thank you for being the one who stays, even when I don’t make it easy. Even when I act like I don’t notice. Even when the world feels too heavy for both of us. You’ve been here, steady, solid, not needing credit, not asking for attention, just here. And I don’t know if you realize what that’s meant to me. We don’t have soft words all the time. We throw jokes. We call each other names. You sneak me snacks when no one’s watching. And I do notice. Even when I don’t say it, I notice. Because love isn’t just the stuff people post online, or the big words everyone throws around. It’s this. It’s you showing up when you’re tired, when you don’t have to, when you could’ve given less but didn’t. I don’t tell you enough, but I’m proud you’re my dad. Not because of the word “dad,” but because of the way you live, the way you give, the way you love. Thank you for the things you said, and for the things you didn’t have to say, because you showed me instead. I love you, in all the ways I say it, and in all the ways I don’t. Always have. Always will.

For my dad
you are not broken for feeling deeply. you are not weak for wanting someone to hold you. you are not wrong for needing rest before you're ready to fight again. tonight, the moon is not judging. it's just watching over you, a quiet reminder that even when it's only a sliver, it's still whole. breathe in. you’ve made it through every hard night before this one. breathe out. you’re allowed to let go, just for now. nothing else matters tonight. just you. just this breath. just the soft idea that maybe, maybe tomorrow doesn’t have to be so heavy.

A soft night
We weren’t close, just two names on a team, a glance in homeroom. Then she broke and something changed. Her words grew softer, landing like gentle promises I wasn’t sure were meant for me. I thought I let go. But two months later, a dream held her close and I woke with a hollow where I thought I was whole. Now the silence stretches across empty days, and I’m left carrying what we never said, a maybe that never found its voice.

Maybe
Three weeks of pretending this doesn’t hurt. Three weeks of folding the same letter, creasing the same fears. Three weeks. Still too much of a coward to call it love.

Three weeks
I hate that I like her cause I start overthinking everything. Like did she mean that smile? Or was it just nothing? I hate that I like her cause I replay moments that probably meant more to me than her. I hate that I like her cause I get hopeful when she’s nice, then confused when she pulls back. I hate that I like her cause she makes me feel soft in a world where I’m supposed to be tough. I hate that I like her cause it’s easier to pretend I don’t. Easier to joke, easier to lie than to admit she’s the reason I catch my breath in the hallway. I hate that I like her.

I hate that I like her pt2
I used to run with reckless grace, Before I learned to hide my face. You see me now, but can't you see I was someone you'd never meet. I chased the sun, I danced in rain, Before the world taught me the pain. You watch from far, not close enough, To see the girl who wasn’t tough. If you had known me back in time, Would you have stayed, or thought me fine? But now I’m lost in all this noise The girl I was is just a voice

Before...
I don’t know how to say this, but I think I’ve been holding it in too long I love the nerves. The way my heart races when you’re near, how I can’t find the right words, how I smile too fast, then look away too slow. I love the way you laugh, and how I forget how to breathe when you catch my eye. I hate how quiet I get, like there’s something too big in my chest to let out. I’ve been scared to speak, scared of what it would mean, but I guess this is me trying, even if it’s messy. —You Know Who

Dear beka,
You were three feet away. Back to me, close enough to reach but I didn’t. I couldn’t. The letter was there, pressed flat in my hoodie pocket. The one I rewrote too many times and still got wrong. You were just sitting there, doing whatever it is you do, and I was watching you like an idiot, thinking maybe this could be something if I just gave it to you. But I didn’t. Even when you said, “You got this.” Even when your voice was the only thing keeping me steady in goal. I wanted to give it to you after that last game. Or the day you looked at me like maybe you knew. Like maybe you felt it too. I don’t even know what I was waiting for a sign? a moment? You? Now it’s just sitting there, crumpled a little at the edges, ink smudged where I held it too tight. You’ll never read it. And you’ll never know how much I meant every word I never said

Still in my pocket
I hate that I like her cause i don’t know what my friends would think especially since her friends mess with my friends, I hate that I like her cause I don’t think she likes me, I hate that I like her cause my past relationships, it’s not her fault but that’s what everyone says, I hate that I like her cause what if it does work out and I mess it up, or what if I make things awkward, I hate that I like her cause what if it does ruined the way she sees me, or what if she never talks to me at all, or what if she embarrassed me by telling her friends, I hate that I like her cause what if her friends mess with her cause of me. I hate that I like her.
