no words are the best words
It’s 3:44 A.M. you are not here but you are always on my mind and I hate you for it I do not know how to put these emotions into words but I know that when I look at you I only think about kissing you and I do not know where love is derived from and you hate that we’re in love I know it’s after midnight and you have work in the morning but maybe if I ask enough and maybe even beg enough you will come and see me right now but you’ll probably say no so I am leaving tonight at that It’s 3:44 P.M. you are right next to me but I still don’t know where you really are and twelve hours ago I was craving your presence and now I’m regretting it you forgot that kissing is more intimate than *** and you still hate that I can **** you and not kiss you and that pushes you away from me you always assume that I never think about you so I push you away further but I can promise you twelve hours ago you still were on my mind I wanted you to come and see me right then but I did not ask you to because you’d probably say no but now I am stuck losing you due to my lack of communication so I am leaving today at that

there's always tomorrow
I know you hate when my writings are sad I didn’t mean it when I said “I can’t be without you” I meant “how could you do this to me and now you’re not here” I want to hate you but instead I call you when I need something about phone *** makes me feel horrible every time it’s the only time you give me attention now that you’re gone I sit in my room listening to versions of “Tom’s Diner” and this feels like my version of “Teenage Fever” I’ve been working on a poem about you it’s seventeen pages long I won’t show anyone when it’s finished because I’m embarrassed I’ve spent time obsessing over the beaches we should’ve swam at and the restaurants I could’ve introduced you to and the dogs we would’ve named Steve and Rex you’re going to read this and the only thing you’re going to comment on is the fact that you never wanted to name the dogs Steve and Rex and I won’t even be mad because what else do I expect and I did this to myself and what you don’t see is every reason why I love you

do you understand all the things I could be doing that don't involve writing about you
There’s only been few to see me for who I am I still need you sometimes when I am alone I call you but it goes to voicemail these people I have acquainted myself with make me feel more than you I do not want you but I would rather feel insufficient than nothing at all I get a lump in my throat when I think about the past you’re the first thing I see I am not like you anymore I hate you for making me who I am no one else understands I still need you sometimes and I don’t know why I am crying

somebody
I hate when I write and you can't tell I'm being sarcastic I want you so much I feel greedy (that wasn't sarcastic) I say I don't miss you you should know I do I don't think it's fair that someone can think about a person as much as I think about you think about this: you being you and me being me but together all these people think I'm writing for them it's for you

all I ask is that you think about me sometimes too
I'm tired of writing poems about staying up late and sleeping all day because you're haunting my thoughts and creating sweet dreams because you do not own me ( that's what I would say if you did not own me I'm tired of our routine but never tired of you)

Rehearsal
I’ve learned to appreciate everything about you after you left me outside in the rain on vacation (we weren’t really on vacation but it always felt like it). Every time you disappeared, I imagined the way you sway when you’re feeling guilty. You never wanted to hurt me, but influence me positively. I remember when you told me they were everything I couldn’t be but we both had a good laugh after that one. I’m not like anyone you’ve had before so you apologized for coming and coming back to me (I wouldn’t leave me either). I did all the right things to keep you around so it’s no surprise that you forced me go

You told me you loved me but you said the wrong name
I haven’t been in love for a while you move so quickly but you touch so slowly I feel your every experience you remember I capture your thoughts because you are all of mine wait before you go and make me just an experience your twisted ideas are what get me the most bittersweet pain and pleasure comes from you laughing at me because I am not good enough

the best part about this is the end
I lost my virginity one time so I decided to become a poet

Kissing Strangers is listed on your résumé under Special Talents you master these skills if you practice every night love you and leave you sound the same being whispered to you when you are intoxicated with the buzz of empty streets as background music when new things become old lose their luster it becomes necessary to replace them so no one blames you when your perfume made of whiskey helps to find you with your hand intertwined with someone else’s because that is just what you do to everyone else you’re a piece of **** to you not really though

Every night
Can a definition have a question in it? Because I have a question. Why can I feel you here, when you are clearly not? Your smell – I smell your smell – is everywhere. Your touches – I feel your touches – are all over my body. But I do not see you in the person that touches me, and whose scent lingers on me and my bed sheets for hours. Although you are clearly something I can touch and hold, you are not because you are not the person that I wanted so long ago. And then the question that is: “do people ever actually change, or do you just get sick of their personality?” comes up. Because I can promise you, I was so sure I could never get tired of you. So it hurts me that when I look at you, or I am with you, I am really not. You look at me with a destination in your eyes that I’ve never seen. And that’s when I realize that I can no longer touch you anymore.
