Listen to what people say,
Don't just wait to speak.
Listen closely and you'll hear
What it is they seek.

Listen to what people say
And hear the things they don't.
The silence in a pause alone
Will speak what the mouth won't.

maybe
vulnerability is
not trying to fill the silence,
and allowing yourself
to feel

I believe in the sun
And arrival of light
I believe in dawning
But **** this long night.

It comes and goes
With more give than take.
Exit smile,
Enter ache.

One day someone will accidentally love me
Though I could never see how
And we'll finally be happy
Just, not now.

i kissed your smile
and for that one, sweet second
i swear we were infinite
