Bare.My face is bare, changed only by the sunburn and happy blush of my cheeks. / My hair hangs loose in curls, lightened by summer and the sea, as it did when I was a child. / My fingernails are short and unpainted, my wrists and neck unadorned, dressed with only a smattering of new freckles.

Broken, not Alone.I wish I could fix your broken heart my dear friend. / I wish I could put the pieces of you back together. / I wish that I could make your tears stop flowing.

Endearing InadequacyI tried to simplify all the complicated feelings I have. / Some times you irritate me, / so I leave, but then miss you.

Every thing.I count the hours between the moments I spend with you. / Time drags, the sun is dull, voices are mute, minutes become days. / I live for the split second I catch your eye across the room. And you smile. And my heart, it races, and the day becomes beautiful again.

Forgotten love.You lurk in the corners of my mind, / Like the shadow that follows me, / Or a dream I can't shake off.

Last CallYou destroyed me, along with every thing else in your path. / Your love was so gigantic it left space for nothing else. And now without it, I am completely empty. / When you left, you Left me in pieces; A shattered version of who I was once was.

Mirror SoulsI fell in love on a black sand beach / with boiling sand beneath my toes / and a sticky wet breeze at my neck.

My Adventure; Our Journey.Do I take you with me on this adventure I have been planning all my life? / On my journey I have dreamt of in math classes, late nights in bed, / and on lazy Sunday afternoons in the sun?
