Back for another semester
you can rest your
head on my shoulder
and smoulder me with laughs

I studied graphs
and figures.
Hid my soul inside these lines
as I did with yours.

If I can hold it out till then
past plenty of forgotten matter,
I'll pat time on the back and say
there's enough left of you to play.

A girl is shaking, seemingly
endlessly, most definitely
not faking. Soft, puffy cheeks, red eyes,
pink nails, her impression fails

to shake off and loosen my
interest. Impressed by how strong,
no one knows exactly for how long
she may have been feeling like this.

I feel the need to hug her tight,
care for her when she's alone at night,
grab her waist from behind,
whisper words and kiss her kindly.

But I refrain, will never express
how I feel about this nameless mess.
Addicted to second guess,

Three months time lapse
movies, parties, roofs and sleep,
all natural drugs collapse.

Effort and elation
loss of concentration
tumbling into my core

It could have worked, you know?
Our lack of patience goes to show
neither of us could take a blow.

It is now december
when I so fondly remember
how you came over without reason.

I sought validition
the one thing you refused to give
you've chosen, picked a different life to live.

You'll miss me too, you see
you'll regret it so so deeply.

Because no one else will ever
dare to care, blinded by their lust,
to accept the things they must
to make you actually feel loved.

This morning
was a fest of sun and rays
and beams and plays.

This mourning
is not some thing that pays
my pain slays
me whole
a hole
where my perseverance used to be.

I never wanted to accept acceptance
but in where I stand right now
I feel darker than a crow.

It was my own doing
to think I thought it would be freeing
seeing you leave.

My heart is frozen but I don't need drama.
It's my sole issue
that I miss you.

In frogs, in pizza, in windows and wine
I can only keep proclaiming I am fine.

Before we'll watch this movie
I just want to say, make clear, honestly
tell you I've been thinking way too much.
Yet not about the right things
filled with unfortunate timings.

Now I've thought it through,
finally tried to understand what it may have done to you.

I want to excuse myself
for invading the space on your highest shelf.
I went too fast, forgot to build a past,
made too much plans for us to live
because I have a lot to give.

I get the fact it came as overload,
less spontanious, kind of crazy mode.
I've never had a thing like this before,
you were so tasty and I wanted more.

It grew after a while
instead of emerging as massive piles
of burning smiles.

We don't have to plan
anything for our future days.
I've gained patience in such ways
and I've learned you'll come when you can
and want,
and to trust you when you can't,
when you turn to silence, silence I now get you need.

If this is where you end indeed
I'll feel remorse in our fate
for understanding our source this late
and what went on inside your mind.

But we'll see
In the end it'll be
all ok, we'll just have to see.
I repeat, again, we're only nineteen maybe twenty.
Let's just watch a movie.

I tried to let it go
when I heard your final no.
Somehow I ****** it all away
without you my life just seemed so grey.

I started missing you the moment you said bye
there's no need to keep stuff from each
other, or even worse, to lie.

This is not a class some people teach.
I know I went too fast for you,
when in ways I did not have a clue.

My lack of experience drove me to the ground
I want to hear your voice, it's sound.

Neighbour, best friends birthday,
so we went out to play
without inviting
biting
their arm and middle.

We went out for a climb
and we had a famous time
then his hand got stuck
we're both running out of luck

Friends broke up and they got off worse
it's like this week has been a curse.
She told me
she did not want to see
me or us together in the future.

I messed up my schedule
went in for just the facts
came back with a night stand
just one, while my friend almost lost his hand.

I feel absurd and unreal
I don't know how to pinpoint it exactly
the things that I now feel.
I wished things had gone differently
I'll miss all of you
all three.

Time to put the focus back on me.
Life is a string of disappointments
the way you deal with it
tells you who you are.
