I'm out of words to say yet I have so much in my mind.
We are figures designed to burn at the mere presence of each other we are magnets of the polar sides made to come closer and closer and we are two people who have come and discovered the answers So please stick around Don't let me down again

We Are Still
Let me immortalize you with my words. These words written on paper with ink. These thoughts expressed on a keyboard and screen. These jumbled up voices that only capture of what I truly feel from the heart that beats for you and a mind that thinks of you. These words that are meant for you. Let them make you feel more alive and loved. May they make know that you are not alone and I will always be here. Let them make you gather all the power, confidence, courage. May they make you feel like you will live forever. Though ink easily fades, paper withers,computers get busted up easily, my heart will fail, and memories become forgotten; these words will go on forever. And let me explain why… For they started as this girl speaks of them, her breath goes along with the air and mixes with the oxygen and hydrogen we all breathe in. It will go up the sky until it reaches out of the atmosphere. These words will go even further and find its home in the stars which will twinkle for an eternity. With these words, this is how I will immortalize you even if we will become fossils of our present that will soon have pass.

Immortalize
I love the smell that exists after the rain There is something comforting about it as I breathe it in through my lungs I would say you were very much like it You give me that same feeling it gives especially when I have you inside of me The best/worst similarity between you and petrichor is this: You only come around in my life occasionally. As I spend most days either drenched in endless rain Or baked by the intense heat of the sun And wait for something to make me feel sane like I wait for you to come around in my life again

Petrichor
I could never make anyone fall in love with me Do I even have to try? It’s a fact proven by science and the absence of romance in my waking life I couldn’t compare to other women in your life They win by a landslide I’m not even an option or a choice But to me you were the only boy in my ******* mind I could do better than write this poem down It’s a sunny day out And I don’t have to feel sad anymore because you don’t even care at all I have myself to rely on

Untitled Poem(6/15/15)
Tonight, I force a smile and pretend nothing happened I imagine that things are alright even if they aren’t... I spent the last few days in sadness and in tears Tonight, I force a smile hoping happiness is real

Tonight, I Force A Smile
At 2 in the morning, I could’ve been dancing the night away at some club. I could be drinking all the Stellas and flirt with other fellas. After that, I could rest easy at a Figaro and avoid another hangover But nope… Here I am now, in a house as silent as ever While the clubs are surely playing loud house music And instead of playing the party girl I once was I now reveal myself as a writer as I have always been It just seems to come more naturally The voices, the colors, the vibe in my head are louder than any party at this time The downside is… LONELINESS It never actually goes away, really But partying could surely hide it unlike writing at 2 in the morning When everything I try to forget just hits me harder than ever

At 2 in the Morning...
It was within these halls you stood now that I walked hand in hand with him weeks ago It was the same paintings he had kissed me to that you are now admiring alone He and I both wore white and looked quite lovely You wore head-to-toe black, implying something An event I shared with him that happened a few weeks ago that was only captured by memory An Instragram moment for you that  you will share to anyone who's watching and listening In a party over a year ago, you saw me sitting alone and scared of everyone I caught you staring at me while your arms were wrapped around someone Our eyes met then like the way one stares at a beautiful painting. But like an onlooker, we walk away with nothing... Fast forward 12 months-- Our first trip to the museum With you as your only company and me in the arms of somebody Though I was happy being with him, I have yet to have someone of my own Here you are currently, pushing away the sadness of your state of isolation What if that coincidence went further and we both saw each other? Amidst the oil on canvas and statues Would I have a chance with you? These questions run my mind as it wasn't long ago I've been in the floors you now stand The missed opportunity from a year ago is probably another missed one a year later

Boy at the Museum
The way you look at me is a source of infinite curiosity and those shy grins confuse me to the brim Yes, to you I act mean but I’m lovestruck from within                                                 But you’ll never know it                                                 For I put an act on you                                                 Probably like you on me                                                 But I’m much more careful

We Will Never Know
Doing woeful poses on the floor, feeling anguish and pain I could feel the muscles contracting-- Am I going insane?

Cramps
If our love was like a movie it will be a cheesy 80's flick where we're at a party and you make your way to me from right across the room It could set in a timeless 50's feature where I  could be Audrey Hepburn running around idyllic places doing things I  pleasure while being with you Maybe we are like the 20's   where we star in the talkies A fascination, an innovation a breakthrough, a classic just like me and you
