we want
to feel
like we are
floating.

I don't know why
I don't want to leave.

we were never strangers
we were never friends
I think it would hurt both of us
if we ever had to pretend to be
either of those things.

try not to
compress
your heart
even when it feels
like the easy
or practical
thing to do.

I never get tired of clouds
because
somehow
you never see the same one
twice.

You said sometimes
Texting her
Makes you uncomfortable
Like words are only half the
Conversation
And your bodies make up
The other half.
When words are
All you have
Everything feels
A little off.

thank you
for bringing me
up and out
once in a while.
you remind me
that laughter
is innate
in us all.

the chocolate settles into the pan
the cold settles into the chocolate
the peanut butter settles into the cold
the chocolate settles into the peanut butter
it all settles into my mouth

you put in
the right amount
of effort
and then you wait
if it is supposed
to happen
it will.
