she's in the
those pine
floorboards
that cry to you
when your
feet whisper
to the door,
she's in the
backdoor
hinges that
weep when you
clinch your jaw
hoping she stays
asleep

she knows
but she loves you
and she's tired
of being stepped
on and shut out

and soon you'll
find yourself
dragging
cinderblocks on
pine needles
leaving through
the front door.       MJB

I've missed you.
I'm sure you can gather that I've been a mess.
I've missed the way your voice gracefully flows from your soft pink lips.
Days passed slowly when I sat alone.
I didn't want my friends, my family, school or much of anything.
I'd miss the way that those songs I listened to used to make me smile.
After while I would only cringe.
I'd miss the way that those songs I sang, I only sang to you.
I missed when we would walk into a room we'd get a compliment or too.
Mainly, I've missed you and every little thing you do.
From the way you lose your temper in the morning easily, to the way that you can't hold sentence while I'm holding your weary head minutes before the clock strikes three.
I may have a faulty camera in my mind but I can still feel the memories.
I don't know why I'm writing this.

Every breath brings back your scent, it's like you left a piece of yourself in my passenger seat.
You sprayed yourself with the perfume you had just bought, I watched as I could see the tiny glistening drops float past your cheek into the sun.
I remember saying something about how you would always run, making me chase you. The memories it brought back were ones I'm quiet fond of.
You always do this thing where you sprint forward and look back with a big smile hoping to find me inches, nay, centimeters behind you.
I would wrap my arms around your waist and drag you down to the floor, lay my lips on your cheek and we would laugh.
Only for a moment though, cause we realized we were in love every time.
We had to look in each other's eyes and say it. Shout it. Write it on the walls of a million buildings.
Nights pass very slowly when I'm with you, but it's funny cause we also **** a ton of time.
I always loved killing time.
But time learned the art of defense and now it's killing me.
You were away for more time than I can count.
I missed the way we were.
I forgot the last time I was living in love, scribbling notes on napkins, driving home from practice, lighting our cigarettes with matches.  
Sometimes it's hard to be in love with the girl of your dreams.

It wasn't till eyes met that I could make that bet
Bet you get your heart broken
Bet you would regret to regress to test your younger self to guess what comes next.
I'd bet that you didn't even know it was happening yet.
And I'd bet you thought of me once or twice, thrice to be precise.
I'd bet then when he said he loved you, you saw it rolling off my lips.
I bet you heard my voice.
I bet you met my eyes.
