For the girl of eleven or twelve who wrote thousands of stories alone in her roomand never shared a single one.
i keep wondering if life is easier than i believe it is if thinking it’s hard is what makes it hard because if all i have to do is change my mind then i am already rich and didn’t know it

what if its simpler
today i had an absolute knowing as if a thousand lives had passed through me as if i downloaded their wisdom all at once as if a light from the sky became a spotlight over my head i have to be unstoppable just that the story about burning the ships is true there is no way to move forward if a bridge still exists behind you leading you back to where you once were there is no way it is forward or forward and i feel like lot’s wife wanting to look back to say goodbye to remember something to keep alive the happy parts of that place but that is exactly why they belong there there the end next looking ahead requires a superhuman strength

no way back
it’s that second between goodbye and the embrace we feel something for each other but we will never admit it you are from church you are married and still you hesitate i hesitate too it’s not easier for me we like each other in secret in every lingering glance in every look we pull away in every moment we want to say more and every moment we choose to say less simply we like each other

we like each other
i feel like every day i discover a new part of me and at the same time i grieve for the parts that no longer fit so the new ones can arrive the only constant is change and that never changes

constant
he said love is like death it finds you and in that moment he had me he said it so naturally i was caught off guard as if it were an obvious truth i had somehow missed as if he had connected two distant points into a single universe

like death
today i met a boy he has dark hair eyes as black as night they reminded me of yours but he is not you no one will be no man will ever idolize me the way you did it’s been a while since you wrote anything maybe you still write just don’t share it keeping it all inside until one day you explode or maybe i’m the one telling myself stories maybe you moved on and i’m the one who keeps coming back just to see if you still think of me

this body
no one is going to save you you already know that but the weight is heavier when there is no one around to blame to hand it over to sometimes it’s not about waiting to have wings it’s about jumping off the edge and discovering you have them on the way down we always find a way

no one is coming
my life had already moved forward so why go back? why insist so much on this connection? why want me so badly? are you trying to suffer? your emotional wounds keep asking for you to be rejected over and over again i removed you once more from my life you no longer belong to me
