and when i looked at you
i saw the kind of forevers that people swear don't exist,
that people dream about

perhaps it's true
that our memories are built like cities inside us
all skyscrapers
and bright lights
and blind idealism

it's like our skin is magnetic
only attracting the other's
hands and
elbows and
knees
always brushing
skin against skin
forever chaste and accidental

we didn't know each other
but the way he smiled at me made me feel like we did.
all teeth
and gums
and
warm
warm
warm.
i wondered if he could feel my heart
fly out of my chest
and land firmly
in his back pocket.

I scribbled down **** you" 80 times that night
with tears in my eyes and anger in my chest
when no one was looking
I still haven't figured out
if the **** you was
to you
for not being there
or to myself
for still wanting you to be

so I lay completely still,
staring into the pitch black that almost seemed to be swallowing me,
and was soon greeted by sleep
rather than the tears I was so sure would come

as time went on,
all I wanted was my lungs
to be filled with
you
you
you
because you made me feel alive
in a way oxygen never could.
but, the fact of the matter
is that you can never truly fill your lungs
with the same air twice
so you were there
and then you were gone
and I've been gasping for you ever since

on the days
where you're still worlds away
and I can feel your absence everywhere,
even inbetween my bones,
I find salvation
in the thought of us even existing
in the same lifetime
and how lucky I am
to be able to love
someone as captivating as you

and I swear to god,
he is Midas
because the memory
of his hand on my waist
makes me feel
golden
