him and i.

i've been friends with him for years on end,
until i got the text i thought he would never send.
"i like you a lot, do you like me too?",
and the answer is yes, yes i do.

he held my hand in his tight
and stayed with me through the night.
i never have to fear that he will leave,
because i know his words will never deceive.

if there is one thing i want for him and i,
it is for our love to never die.
i want us to burn as bright as a flame,
and for us to win this terrible game.

i know it might be kind of early to say,
but we have been talking about marriage one day.
what colors would decorate the room,
the day we become bride and groom.

of course we are still young,
but i can't stop the words falling from my tongue.
i can't stop myself from loving you,
and i hope you keep loving me too.
this is from my drafts. i wish things were as good as they used to be.

teacher sent me to the doctor's office
teacher sent me home
teacher sent me to the place
where all the foul things roam

teacher gave me tic-tacs
to swallow when i'm sad
teacher said the chemicals
will make me sorta mad

teacher dries my eyes up
with platitudes enough
to even console all the kids who
are made of smarter stuff

teacher says confusion
is not a cause for shame
i'm not quite sure what teacher means
but i listen all the same

teacher treading tip-toed
lowering the tone:
"i'll help you with the theory here
but you'll practice on your own."
if you are sad, get people to help you not be sad, thanks

they ask me if he gives me butterflies
but it feels more like shards of glass
because i can hear the ticking time bomb
telling me there's no way this will last
It's not his fault
He can't be
The man I wish he was
