I see you in places you've never been to
I feel you in places you've never touched

sometimes I become overwhelmed at the realization of my own existence. this skin, these thoughts, these breaths, this beating heart are entirely my own, and with them I am enabled to witness the existence of you, of the world outside of my own, of the world we are a part of, a world composed of us, and it is all so clear, and all too much, and joy exists, it exists in the warmth of tears streaming down the contour of my cheeks, it exists on the tips of my fingers pressing down against this keyboard, typing the words we exist.
I exist, you exist, we exist, we exist, we exist.
I am utterly, entirely, overwhelmingly in love with our existence.

I am going to pretend
That I have never heard what you are telling me
That way you aren't telling me
Something I already know

Last night I wept for you on the A train
Melodramatically, in my mind

You were holding her hand
Pressing her sadness against your baked skin
So that she might feel a little better
And oh, how she did

How you made her forget
If even for a little while
The image of his eyes from her mind
By looking into yours

But I can still see it through mine
And her
And you
And him
And these words

Betray me
Run me over
Make me sick

I paint my nails the color of pomegranate
The color of an open heart

I look like ****, but I feel phenomenal

I made a playlist for you once
Composed of twenty-two songs
The number of our age

I don't know why I'm fond of you
I've grown indifferent to most things by now

I'm smaller as an adult than I was as a child

If I had a home, I'd like you to come over
If you had the book of secrets
Would you share a secret with me?

There is music throughout the night
That only sounds while we are sleeping

There are faces we'll never see
And hands we'll never hold

There is meaning in reoccurring dreams

I cannot tell if it is cold outside
Or if I've come too close to the sun

I once wrote the words
"I'm gonna get run the **** over and be glad about it"
On an evening walk to my English class at school

Feelings change constantly
All the time

sometimes I feel things too strongly
sometimes I feel nothing at all
it is critical you know these things about me
before you get further involved
arubybluebird Dec 2014
If you forget me, I think that's for the best
arubybluebird Dec 2014
I need you to try
I need you to cry
I need you to die a little
For me
