Tell me why I’m only relevant when you need a shoulder to cry on.
Explain to me why you only remember my phone number when it’s Friday night, and she didn’t call you back.

Why spend Valentine's Day
with bitterness? In your heart
there is a yearning. For love
grows deeper when suppressed. In your mind
being rational makes you sane
but afraid. For love
lingers if left unnoticed.
Spend today with laughter.
Spend today with glee.
Don't suppress that feeling.
Don't suppress that love.
Even if just for today,
give in. Fall completely.
Remind yourself. You are loved
even if just for today.

I imagine myself waking up in the morning, and walking into the kitchen to find you.
We are both in our underwear and a baggy, oversized t-shirt with messy hair, and you say to me, “Hey, I made you rainbow pancakes for breakfast.”
And maybe then I would enjoy mornings.

I wish that you were here
That you felt the same way
That you hadn’t walked away
That you weren’t out with her
That we had gotten our happy ever after.
But these wishes won’t come true
And 11:11 will pass by
With or without you.
