i lit a match to light a candle to seal a letter but the match could not even do me the courtesy of burning to my fingertips.

i am going insane over a love that cannot exist. a love made not of soulmates but a bond, a tether, a string forged and formed by two creatures taken to understanding. to knowing. knowing when one is wearing a mask for others. knowing what the littlest twitches of muscles mean. knowing where one is even in sleep. knowing someone beneath what they project to the world. knowing how to steady the world for one whom it blurs. knowing and desiring to know. hearing and keeping hold. this love drives me mad the soul of my heart aches for such a profound connection yet the written words of other authors must suffice.

love than cannot exist in this world
I miss him. I missed him. I miss him now and I miss him then. in the moment, I was missing him. he was with me, and I was missing him. was it worth it? would anything have changed? could it be any other way? will I find him again? the him he used to be? the him I missed? the one I still miss? can he be who he was and who he has grown to be at the same time? can he be better, yet still the same? can I? can I be the woman he loves and the woman who broke his heart? doesn't it contradict? doesn't it all contradict? aren't we contradictions? aren't we ourselves?

aren't we ourselves?
obsessed, terrified, the idea of seeing someone that you knew intimately, seeing them in a bathing suit or without a shirt, knowing that your hands traveled down those exposed places, remembering that, and knowing you can never do it again, they are across a room, alone, with someone else, twenty feet away, maybe more, and you can feel their hips in your hands, your body knows exactly how theirs moves, but you will never feel it again, horrified, overwhelmed

you take a breath like dragging a cigarette
I want to see the sun with you. The rising, the setting The ******* rainbow it makes. I want to see it all with you. But if I can't, when I can't I want you to see it on your own. I want you to experience beauty. Over and over Every sunrise, every sunset. I want everything for you. Every precious thing Every little thing. Every soft moment that might brighten your day I want for you. This sunset is yours.

This Sunset Is Yours
Jewel of the Hellenistic for True Beauty and Passion for my name, for me. "A Spirit, yet a Woman too!" She Was a Phantom of Delight for the life of me, I can't believe that when you think, you think of me. La Belle Dame Sans Merci the painting the poem the story, a familiar story. Oh, a long one years worth, hours worth, all worth it. How do I survive? being loved like this? when I don't deserve it? when I don't return it?

the idea of putting your lips, your lips that speak the kindest things, your lips that sing the most beautiful words, your lips that paint pictures and craft stories, your lips that build and tear and design, putting those angelic creations on someone else's body saying i speak the kindest things for you, i sing the most beautiful words for you, i paint and craft for you, saying i give you a part of me in every touch the idea of kissing someone's neck, of someone kissing yours, yours where your most vital veins are, one of the tenderest areas of you, the passage between your head and your heart, where all your thoughts roam, Entrancing, the idea of kissing someone's wrist and fingertips, of someone kissing yours, yours where your hand meets your arm, where your typing and writing and drawing stem, where your instruments sing, where you touch them, Beautiful, the idea of kissing someone's torso, of someone kissing yours, yours where your heart lays, where your breath lives, where all your vitality sits, with life and happiness, Insane, the idea of kissing someone's thigh, of someone kissing yours, yours that hold you up, that run, that walk, that jump, that are crazily powerful yet amazingly soft, Humanizing romance lives and dies on your lips, on mine.

The Idea of You
All the sparks, the flames, there are embers in my soul, always warm and blazing in your proximity, I didn't know what Fire was until I knew You.

I have so much to say and no words to say it at the moment I cannot comprehend beyond the basics -I've lost everything, but his touch
