Movie night cancelled.
I should've seen it coming.
Nowhere to be now.

Wash away the past,
it can be liberating.
But hold onto me.

Still need to show her
that I am ok with this.
Then all will be fine.

I was happier
than I'd been for a long time,
yet still I missed her.
I don't have so much time to write at the moment. Yet, as I've found it to be my best way of understanding myself, I've decided to write at least one haiku per day which encapsulates a particular emotion I felt during the day, in the hope of keeping track of my own mental state. So I thought - for the sake of science - why not document it publicly?

I'll be tagging all of them with 'Daily Haiku'. It may last a day or continue indefinitely.. who knows.

It's not what you are
that I fell so in love with.
It is who you are.

Understanding that
nothing else really matters
was your gift to me.

Games on the phone with me,
even if we're going to the promised land.

Lasers shine on my mind.

Fresh flowers delivered to the promised land.
Yet we have a nice evening, and that makes me really think
that anything is possible.

But I just wanted a lot more of the world.
Even if multiplied,
by the end she hated me.

So don't look at the end of days,
but the truth about the paperwork
with a friend's little girl

who was having a good night out.
With the exception of Hannah.
But I just wanted a lot more emphasis on my mind.

You left it all behind.

Everything we built together.
Other than the red carpet
and upholstery cleaning services in my dreams?

I often play predictive text tennis with my close friends. Tonight I thought I'd see if my phone could write poetry. It didn't do too badly. I just added line breaks and punctuation.
