tear-stained sleeves & muffled cries

it's so early that it's still night.

"hey, it's going to be okay . . ." you tell me

and i really hope that you are right...

feeling feverish as i sit up in bed, bathed & with half-way-to-sleep eyes.

i just want to know that you're still mine, and i yours.

i've been writing for two hours now, i think!?...

my hair is drying a little too fast before i get the chance to blow-dry it.

it's 12:08 a.m. and i'm wondering if you got home safely.

i want to paint my nails your favorite color,

but i don't want to risk losing you.

magnificent - mundane

undeniable - grog & grain

how do you spell "gray"? with an 'a' or an 'e' before the 'y'?

the only ones who can ***** out our flame is us.

which brings both great relief but also IMMENSE fear.

simultaneity has been a close friend the past couple of years.

can we make this flame into a fire, one that can keep us warm through these cold, uncertain nights?

"i've never moved so quickly from feeling so sure to feeling so lost in such little time."

i wish it still felt like summertime.

"just keep being your sweet self", you whispered through the phone

i could hear the sleep in your voice & ache in your heart.

you still know me better than most, even if you don't know my favorite ice cream flavor.

:::::::::::

better, i wish i had known.

i wish i never wrote that poem.

i wish i didn't visit you that day.

i wonder if things would be different if home, i had decided to stay.

remembering when i was suddenly
no longer a "maybe"
and became a solid "yes"...

11:11

wishing that didn't have to switch overnight.

i'm usually okay with silence

but this time,
there's a little more
than i wish there would be
on the other end of the phone.
