real love
dreams together
hopes together
works together
each of their days
loving each other  
trusting each other
respecting each other
that is all that matters
A.

you say i’m dismissive
but like a hug when i need it
i don’t receive it
so think of what you’re saying before you speak
i need to know you’re on my team.
these days i could go without another enemy.
my mind is blank.
i’m tired of rhyming.
is this what true love is supposed to be?
day n night
arguing and fussing
like two kids
in a sand pit
repeating myself until i scream.
i told you i can no longer go on.
for my heart and mind is tired.
bending slowly breaking
fall in love with a poet.
our story is now coming to an ending.
i loved you until my heart turned cold.
i wanted to feel you on me
and just ******* forget the world.
i might be the writer
though i know i’m not all that great
but you’ll always be the words
and the sad reminder
that made me believe in fate
isn’t giving up allowed sometimes?

when a poet falls in love with you,
you can never die.
they will notice you,
every inch.
the way you rub your palms,
play with your fingernails and look down.
and the way you smirk
as you pull away from a kiss.

they will notice how you can't sleep
without your body touching someone else's.
how you crease your favorite book pages,
and how you close your eyes when you dance,
blasting your favorite songs through your earbuds.
they will find all of the words
that they see you as,
and they see you.
they see you as you.
and with all of those words,
they turn every single on them into something beautiful.
people say you die twice.
once when you stop breathing
and when someone says your name
for the last time.
if you fall in love with a poet
they will never stop
mentioning your name,
you will be alive
for eternity.

flux
life being in a perpetual state of change.

i realize we both cared for each other.
the idea of reengaging appeals
however,
the constant changes in my life
and your life,
would not make such union possible.
reminisce
indulge in enjoyable recollection of past events.
reminiscing on past lovers,
how life would be if those relationships worked out,
favorably.
past
gone by in time and no longer existing.
past had deadening effects on relationships.
but past wasn't past.
so,
fantasizing about the alternate reality,
where things turned out differently.
perhaps inevitable.
such imaginations are something we all go through.
fool
a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person.
me.

Even if a relationship is breakable and fragile and full of anxiety it doesn’t mean that it isn’t worthwhile, exciting, beautiful and all the things we look forward to.
i think that a lot of relationships can be solid. solid and healthy, but that’s not always what you get. it doesn’t mean that it’s not special or extraordinary.
just to have a relationship, fragile is somehow meaningful in that fragility.
