"The universe
taught trees
to dance
after the way
your hair danced
on a windy
spring day."

"It often takes
a great romantic blunder
to teach us
not everyone
deserves our thunder."

"There's a reocurring
scene playing in my head,
where you hear everything
I should have said."

"Goodbyes are suffocating--

they are like
promising to never
draw breath again,
when all I want
is to inhale and
feel your existence
inhabit my ribcage

Why?
Because you are
a necessity to me;

like air is for lungs
like oxygen is for veins--
it's an instinct
that I just
can't contain."

"The worst part
about missing you,
is missing the old me
who knew what to be."

"Before you
it was just
my friend
happiness
and I.

After you
I met
loneliness
with whom
I cry."

"We're at scene six
where you and I
act like it never
meant anything,

and scene seven
will see us teaching
our hearts how to
understand fiction."

"The trouble is--

hearts don't lie,
but minds do

and I don't know
which one I spoke to."

Fall for him the way shooting stars
fall for the earth,

and darling,

I promise he'll catch you
knowing all that you're worth.

"The universe
planted roses
to remind me
of your cheeks
when you blush."

"The universe
fashioned stars
after the way
your eyes twinkle."

"The universe
has such things
as crescent moons
so that your smile
won't ever
leave my sight."

Of all the things
I could desire

my well being always
ends up second,
right after you.

I knew I loved you
not by the moments
we spent together,
but by the moments
away from you
that seemed like forever.
