you crept into me
quietly, and slowly,
not making a noise once.
and before i knew it
pieces of you were everywhere
and maybe that was your plan.
to plant pieces of you
that would consume me
the way that ivy covers a wall.
so that there would be no chance
of anything or anyone else
invading me, the way that you did
because even when i try to rid myself of you
and pull you from the roots
that you so deeply imbedded in me,
it is never enough.
tiny, almost invisible pieces of you
stay behind
and there’s silence for a while
until you begin to grow again,
invade me repeatedly,
hold every single thought hostage
tie my heart up so tightly,
that it never has the ability to beat
for anyone
but you.

sometimes i wish that time softened
to let me slip in between the cracks
so that i could have that moment again
where you were mine
and where the world was ours.
i sit here, yearning -
for more moments
where the light caught your face,
when your hands hovered over mine,
or when you’d wrap your body around mine.
once wasn’t enough,
it would never be enough.
i want to feel it twice,
not to change it or fix it,
but to savour it.
i want you to carve the memories of yourself
deep into my heart,
and stretch the time we had.
but,
time is cruel,
moving too fast,
slipping through my fingers,
long enough to remember,
but too fast to hold.
time will always be cruel -
it left me with echoes of you,
reminders that whisper softly,
that you were here,
you were real,
you are real,
but you are not mine,
and i am not yours.

how do you tell someone
that the reason you can't love
is because the first love of your life
was your father
who took that love
and erased all meaning of what being loved felt like
and stepped all over the idea of loving
so you cannot love
because you don't know how to

he was as pale as the sickness that promised death
the pill bottle was empty
the pills were dissolving
one
by
one
in his stomach.
the image of him laying in your bed
his sweat seeping into the linen
that was too, being watered with his tears
will forever remain in your head
like a tattoo in your mind
temporarily forgotten, but permanently there.

let's meet again
when you don't know me
and I don't know you
where all the possibilities of who we could be
are endless
where maybe instead of it being
'right person, wrong time'
everything would align
and you would be mine
just as I would be yours.
the first time we met
we started as strangers
who became friends
who became so much more than that
and then nothing all at once
so let's meet again,
for the first time
in that room where I came to you
and where our story began
but this time,
I want to love you
and I want you to love me

falling in love with you
is as gentle as it is when you hold my hand
it is all encompassing
I feel you from every direction
falling in love with you
feels like the moment our eyes met for the first time
where my eyes saw you
taking you in
tattooing an image of you in my mind
it feels like that moment
after running
heart beating uncontrollably
pulse racing
not being able to catch my breath
but simultaneously
making me feel alive
falling in love with you
is the first time you kissed me
is your presence being the only thing to calm me
is the fact that my heart feels safer with you than it does with me
is you planting warm kisses onto my forehead
falling in love with you
is absolutely everything I could have ever imagined
it feels like time stands completely still, and only you and I exist
it is unexplainable, but at the same time I could spend a lifetime telling you how it feels
whatever I did
to have the universe place you in my life
in front of me
in my heart
I am forever grateful
and I promise to take your heart and wrap it in kindness and love
falling in love with you seems endless
falling in love with you is silent, yet is also the loudest thing in the room
falling in love with you is being lost in your eyes, but finding myself entangled in your arms
falling in love with you is the easiest thing I've done
falling in love with you
is
everything
and then some.

because you never think
that the last time
is the last time.
you think there will be so much more
more moments
more laughs
more touch
more love
more time.
you think you have forever
because all of the little things
became your normal
the way she'd hold you as you wake up in the morning
the way she'd trace patterns into your hand like she was tracing the map to your heart because she already knew where it was
the way she'd kiss you, one time, three times, ten
you think you have forever
because all of the little things
became a habit
that you thought would never stop
and now here you are
wishing you had more time
wanting one more hug
one more kiss
one more moment
where you could tell her
how much you love her
because you never think
that the last time
is the last time.

people always talk about
two kinds of love existing in this world
one that you would **** for,
and one that you would die for
your love is the kind
I would both **** and die for
but, the thing about you
is that your love is so extraordinary, and all consuming
something that is worth more
than simply killing or dying for
my love,
I would live
one hundred times
to experience a love like yours
you are the kind of love
that every person longs for
they search cities and continents
to find even a fraction of the kind of warmth you provide
they search for that type of love in different bodies
just to be able to feel their skin ignite for a second
they search through sunsets, and storms
to be able to experience, for even a singular moment,
the multitude of emotions that I feel when I'm with you
your love is the kind of love I would live for
to be able to feel the softness of your skin touch mine
to have you hold my body close until the broken pieces of me join once more and become whole
to see your eyes reflect the beauty of your soul
yours is the kind of love
that people search their entire lives for
only the difference between them and me
is that they experience only one heartbeat
in comparison
to the infinite times my heart leaps, races, and beats for you
they feel, for one second,
what I feel for you, forever.

love will not save you
but love will guide you
love will hold your hand
wipe your tears
hold you.
love is not terrifying
love will be gentle with you
love will kiss your cheeks softly
giggle between breaths
smile at you.
love will not disorient you
love will be slow
love will support
hold you up when you need lifting
and ground you.
love will not be chaos.
love will be calm
love will be warm
love will be bright.
love will be magical.

it was all in the beginning
where your hands lingered over mine
the music drowned out every sound
the lights illuminated you
your eyes pulled me in,
before your lips touched mine
it was in that moment
that I realised
that I would fall for you.
and I would fall in love with you
the way that rain falls:
uncontrollably,
over and over.
I hope that every beginning
in all of our lifetimes
feel like that
like we existed in a space
that was about to explode
with our love
