when i was 8 years old
i thought the moon was a magnet of some form
this seems pretty silly , i know
but come on , i was 8 years old.
i stared at the moon each night we drove home from my mother’s best friend’s house
i knew it was with me wherever I went.
a magnet? Sure.
to me , we were attached.
opposites Attract.
a bright surface meets a dark soul.
i see the moon
and the moon sees me.
when i grew older ,
i realized that the moon
was not in fact magnetically attracted to my mother’s Toyota Corolla.
this disappointed me so much that I did not think about my magnetic theory for years.
when i grow older ,
i fall in love with you.
when I grow older ,
i fall in love with you.
the moon. you.
i knew you were with me wherever i went.
because to me , we were attached.
opposites attract.
a bright surface meets a dark soul.
i see the girl
and the girl sees me.
my theories are back.
you followed me wherever i went , you’ll follow me wherever i go.
your glow.
the most beautiful lady i’ve seen to date.
as in calendar date , unfortunately , we were never together.
i like to think i’ve forgotten this ‘silly’ theory.
but in some ways , it still makes sense to me.
i haven’t seen you in month’s ,
but i’ve seen the moon.
and so have you.
and we are attached.
and that just has to be enough.
i have to believe that’s enough.

i have a large heart
with so much love to give
i have a large heart
which gives them so much more to hurt.

out on a spring day
she came across a lonely daisy
in the middle of an enormous field
and she picked at the petals
" she loves me she loves me not
she loves me she loves me not
she loves me"
"she loves me"
so hopeful that her love would come around

i bathed with him
and all the bad thoughts
washed away
today for the first time since he left
i bathed without him
and all the bad thoughts
bubbled up and made me feel
like i'm drowning
and i didn't mind

i wish i could be with you
not necessarily for the celebration
but for the beautiful fireworks
the sparks
admiring you
admiring them
but instead i am admiring you
from afar
and the sparks fly between us through text message.
next year i'll be with you my love,
next year will be our year.

you kissed me with your cigarette breath
and i'm still trying to filter it out of my head
it's not that i want forget
it's just that i can't help wanting it
oh so bad
again.
come kiss me in my tangled sheets
on the sidewalk
on the docks
on my lips
please?

i thought our love was meant for movie screens
i thought our love was worth writing 185 poems about you
i thought our love was made for park benches
and 12 am subway rides
and 4 am conversations
but i've realized there was one thing it wasn't meant for
it wasn't meant to last.

are the flowers you bought me ,
my mother planted them there
i haven't been outside lately
but she says they aren't doing so well.
neither are we,
are we?
my love?
lover?
