I love you
But only as a friend
Maybe a little less than that
It's a love from a worn out past
And it's fading
More now than ever before

You are kind
And I am strong and beautiful
Perhaps our paths diverge here
Not out of malice
Or ill will
Just differences
And the growth of two trees
In different directions
No matter where we go, we'll always have the same roots.

I'm thriving
Growing like a ****
Laughing at midnight
In my room by myself
Not because I'm manic
But because I'm happy
Happy
It's been a while since I've said that
I cut up a pair of old lace tights and now it's a crop top. For me, this is what living feels like.
Temporary feelings can be fleeting
Letting them go as quickly as they came
Finding the answer in each feeling
When will this begin and end

This has to be a sin
Can I be both
the center and
the ray

the middle
and the outskirts

and is this longing why
it hurts so much

and why you asked me
to expand?

pretty little thing,
innocent and sweet
why must you believe in the unseen
why do you trust what a stranger thinks,
judging us, superficially

do you think of when I was born and judge me entirely?
does the month and day declare who i'll be and the life i'll lead?

why must you put your faith in a deck of cards
and not in what is ours

please, my love,
believe in me,
believe in us
my girlfriend is a firm believer in tarot card readings. yesterday, they told her I wasn't the one and she should watch out for virgos--we're evil. I can sense her second-guessing our relationship.
