my hand grazed your bicep
i was jostled, i landed in your chest
i laughed as you joked
suddenly feeling out of breath.
you flashed that smile, threw up a peace sign
i could see your face perfectly.
butterflies playing bumper cars in my stomach
god, the way you were looking at me.
it lasted only a moment,
felt like two or three
but two hours later and i can’t stop thinking about it
there’s no place i’d rather be
than with you right now,
i yearn to meet your eyes
to talk for hours and kiss and laugh
and never say goodbye.  
my head says “don’t catch feelings”
but my heart says “why not?”
you’re sensitive, smart, and funny
and so freaking hot!
i’m trying to stay away, i swear
but it’s so **** hard
because you walked into my life and blinded me
by the perfection you are.
-a.c.b

all i ask for
is a little effort
in return.

i can feel your tangible thoughts
ebbing through the phone i know
you’re hurting, i know
there’s nothing i can do but
here we go again with my overthinking
and my mind running
untamed, unchecked
you’re so ******* unpredictable but
god you’re so enigmatic i want nothing more
than to run my fingers along your jawline
please stop hurting
you are far too special
to be so alone.
-a.c.b

you are such beautiful chaos
like entropy
in a sundress
-a.c.b

when you saw me in the halls today
i’m sure i looked happy.


that is how good i am at lying.
