From now until forever, but forever isn't long.

From today until tomorrow, until something goes wrong.

Starting now, and ending never, when never doesn't exist.

Walking forward and going nowhere, it’s you I can’t resist.

Ships are sinking, bridges burned, these mistakes, we can’t go back.

These lessons that I've yet to learn, it’s sympathy for you, I lack.

Jumping off a buildings top, with your hand in mine;

“I love you” was far too much, we’re just trying to pass the time.

Dying is not an option, so we grow wings and fly;

Escaping from the world below, sinking in the sky.
Your voice
That touch
Your touch
You’re touching me
I’m touching you
Skin against skin

A kiss;
Lips against lips
Gentle
Yet so rough

Tongue against tongue
Lips against skin
Tongue against skin
Teeth biting skin
Ever-so-delicate

Hand meets hand
Fingers touch
Fingers cross
Holding on tight
Hand against skin

Butterflies
Goosebumps
Hands against chest
Softly caress

Lips against neck
Lips against lips
Whisper “I love you”

Skin against skin
Arms wrapped
Chest against chest
Nails against skin

Lips against lips
Tongue against tongue
Sudden gasp for breath

Eyes meet eyes
Eyes roll back
Eyes close

Teeth against lip
Nails against skin

Arms wrapped so tight
*“I love you.”

Willingness to die for the people
or desire for death
Just to clarify not death of others or innocents but death of self.
I dreamt about you last night, and it hurts
When I look back and ask myself,
Why I ever took your graciousness for granted
Placed it on the ground and stomped hard
Over and over and
I ruined you
I know I did, and now I live with
The reality of that
But I don’t know if that was me,
I think that was me...
And I lost her, when I lost you
I will never get you back in the grasp of my hands
I have memories, and they are all that suffice
I can say that I was happy,
I was so happy and I could see marriage
Being a possibility
Rather than something I ran from
But I realize I have always been flighty and flirty
And the disadvantage is all mine
Because you will find someone who
Gives you something,
All of her, all parts
While I will still be stuck here,
Trying to figure out ways
To gain something back that is long gone
found this in my notebook today.
