28/F/USA I'm just here, man.
Two rhythms align, between breaths, a quiet spark Gravity gives in.

Seventy Four . Gravity
Fingers trace slow sparks, your name caught soft on my lips. Night learns how we breathe.

Seventy Three . Sparks
I keep pretending this is small, like it’s something I can fold up & tuck away when people are watching. But you, you undo me. In the quiet spaces, in the seconds our hands meet, in the way my name sounds different when it comes from you. This isn’t a mistake, no matter how many times the world would say it is. Because loving you doesn’t feel reckless. It feels inevitable. Like we were always going to find this, no matter how carefully we tried not to. & maybe that’s the dangerous part. That I’ve started thinking in impossible ways, in “what if we left?”, in roads with no destination, in a life where no one gets to tell us no. Where I could say it out loud, without lowering my voice, without checking who might hear. I love you. Not quietly, not halfway, not in a way that knows how to stop. I love you enough to imagine a world without everything else, if it means I still get you. So tell me I’m not the only one thinking about running, about choosing us. Because if you are... I think I would.

Seventy Two . I Think I Would
Hidden in soft looks, I love you between heartbeats. Quiet, but wildfire.

Seventy One . Wildfire
We speak in glances, like that’s the only safe way to say your name. I’ve learned the art of almost; almost touching you, almost saying what I feel, almost letting the world see what burns so easily between us. But this, this isn’t small. I love you. In every quiet moment, in every look I can’t hold too long. And you know, don’t you? Every secret second is me choosing you, even when I’m not allowed to.

Seventy . Almost
I miss how we used to be, So vibrant, so honest, so wild & free I miss the way you would understand, Listen carefully, & be there when I needed a hand I miss our long, random talks at night, Our private conversations, our silly little fights I miss the way you could read my mind, Know what to say, when words are hard to find I miss the way you could brighten my day, Make me forget the mistakes, make the pain go away I miss how you made me laugh, I hate how you make me cry Loved how you said you'd always be there & so did I, But to you, everything that I say is just a lie

Sixty Nine . Read Me
She has a pretty smile, That goes on for a while Her teeth are really white, Some might say what a sight She is always quick to hug & kiss, When she's away, I really miss When I am hurt, she cares so much She always has that special touch She quit her job when I was a baby, So she could play & watch me daily Brownies, cookies, candy, & cakes, My Nana really loves to bake For her job, homes she cleans, Her clients love her so much they scream! There really is no test, My Nana is the very best

Sixty Eight . Beverly
I'm tired of dreaming, I'm through with trying Tired of living, yet scared of dying Maybe things are good for you, but look at all that I've been through Look at all the pain I've won, I bet you think that it's been fun You never thought I'd turn away, you never believed you'd see this day Look again, cause here I go, leaving behind all that I know Changing it all as I must do, not daring to stop & think things through Wanting to run as fast as I can, not stopping until I understand Like why did I let things get this way? Why didn't I leave, like, yesterday? How are things going to be, when there is no more you & me?

Sixty Six . Run
I will always love you, remember that You can push me away, but I'll always come back You can deny your desire, & say it can't be, but I won't let the walls come between you & me You're afraid of your dark side, the harm you could cause, I have never feared your hands, or their sharp pointy claws I love them, I love you, I love all that you are Protest all you like, but you will not get far You can never change my mind, my heart will stay true I'll do everything I can to get closer to you I will wait for you forever, so get used to that fact I will always love you, remember that...

Sixty Four . Remember That
The feeling of missing you makes my head spin & at times I feel queasy because I used to be able to write about my pain & how I'm feeling on paper or in a poem on this site so easily as if it were writing my name on the top of an all nighter essay that was due first thing the next morning, but because of how much I miss you, I've forgotten how to spell it
