traveling the world around my neck
like a big hug, it comforts, does not suffocate
Toronto to Lisbon
Dallas to Spain
each and every city reminds me of your name
it felt my song and my tears it wept
apparently you're not someone I can forget
for dreams came true while it warmed my chest
those dreams were empty 'cause you were not there
forever with me, like it or not
although it was yours, to me you passed it on
miles and miles, we're still far from each other
always holding on tight to your scarf, multicolor

when a poet falls in love with you
you can never die
they will notice the way
you rub your palms and look down
when someone is angry at you
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss
they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's
how you never crease any pages of books
and how you close your eyes when you dance in your kitchen
with your record player on
they will find all of the words
that they see you as
and turn them into something beautiful
people say you die twice
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time
if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name
you will be alive
for eternity

One last cup of coffee
Before the end of the week
Before I jump in this path
Before I lift my feet
You saw me
I didn't see you
I can only imagine the thrill
Heart racing
Beat pumping
Wondering if you look good
From your hair to your outfit
Thinkin' "should I say hello?"
Whisperin' "look, there he goes"
I know we're both too afraid
To let each other go
Do not worry
I know how it works
One day you'll just smile
And greet me, "hello"
I'm not sure how
I'm not sure why
But that's all it takes
For my girl to come back.

We are the ones who are hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre
because the ending scene made us cry
We'll stop to smell the roses
because they deserve to be appreciated
We are the ones who will take the time
to learn what keeps you up at night
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us love
We are the ones who will love you more
than we love ourselves
We will give you our strongest parts
in hopes that we can make things better
We desire to see you become the best you
to make sure that you always feel our love
We crave affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away every day
sometimes to people who don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we give away
When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves back together
We are more fragile than we like to give off
We carry our emotions on our sleeves
Our flaws have the ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the world
but we are afraid to feel unloved
We want you to see what we see
We want you to understand where we're coming from
We are good people with good intentions
We are stronger than we believe
Not everyone can feel the way we feel
We feel too much, too often
We are not hard to love
We are something not everyone knows how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you
You are not any less lovable
You are the most lovable person in the world
You are a light that the world needs
Your kindness is not your weakness
You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to stop giving love
just because you don't get any back
Your heart is the best thing about you
And one day when you least expect it
someone will notice you from across the room
and know exactly how to love you
They will think all of these things are beautiful
They will deserve the love you can give
They will fill the empty space in your heart
But for now, don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love

I don't miss you
Not on cold nights
Or on drunken getaways
I don't miss you
Not in the park wearing a hoodie
Or in your house making a smoothie
I don't miss you
Not in every heartbeat
Or in each breath
I don't miss you
Not even a little
Not at all
I'll keep repeating these things
Until the day comes
That I can finally say
Today, I don't miss you

Every time I'm in the street
People passing by
None of them look at me
Not even off the corner of their eyes
But every time I smell your perfume
I always turn around
In the hope that it's you
In the corner of my eye

They say every rose has its thorn
But you're not a rose
Not even close
You're a loaded gun
That aimed and shot
Straight through my heart

you know I don't believe in you
maybe someday I did
but today, that feeling
has left every cell of me
you filled my life with light
every time I woke up
started my days with the calmness
of you being in my thought
you held me in your arms
you were my path
I don't know what the next step is
but I won't take it by your side
this isn't my story
or perhaps, it can be
if it's about my story with god
or your story with me
