tears of joy
did you tell them that they are the best part of your day that them existing and walking into a room makes that room different for you... that waking up to their texts makes all the difference there is that if you could choose to exist next to someone it could be them... did you tell them did you tell them that you like looking at them watching them smile or just exist that you see their flaws but even those would never matter when it comes down to it... that you do not have to wonder when asked about them that you are sure about what you feel about them did you tell them that them showing up in your life opened you to new versions of yourself you did not know even existed. that you thought you were not capable of some things until them. that you a different person and maybe a better lover because of them that they opened you up.... did you tell them..... did you tell them that most days you know that they are wrong for you that you can see yourself being pulled under by them.. captivated by their energy... drawn in by them over and over even when the possibility of similar endings are possible. but did you tell them.. that most days, you are pretty sure that this is some sort of love a raw, deep and real sort of love... maybe not the common and known kind... but definitely there..... did you tell them, i love you anyway......

you see Ingrid is male now donot ask why you we didnt know if he was initially male or female you see the person who named him hates cats. like really really hates cats. which is werd ı mean because cats are lovely also there was a time ı didnt love cats okay that is wrong ı dıd not hate cats. i was verily terrified of cats and then someone showed up.. and they loved dogs.... so i loved dogs... and then i moved and met Cinamon. she is Ingrids mum... and now Ingrid comes over often... hungs with us... and we feed him and love him you see when we found out he is male we didnt want to change his name because we loved it already.. so now we have a male cat called Ingrid...

the cat named Ingrid
first day. Day one… minute one Two people walk into the cafeteria I see her, I wonder about her in passing Day…. I stopped keeping track. What was the first friendly thing we said to each other? Do you know? Do you remember? I do not…. It’s like one minute you were just there… A random guy walking with a girl… A girl I wanted to know. But there is now… tennis. Some days I text you all day We can do that all day… We talk a lot. We laugh a lot too Your eyes are so brown… It’s strange, it’s all I see But you can listen to poetry I like Or finish my chocolate. Or just exist together. Find me one day…. Around the world. This can’t be it. What would it be like…..
