I don't want to have a future
I'm afraid
How do I fear something that hasn't yet come to pass?
Claire Elizabeth Oct 2014
Losing count of something is easy
You skip a number, you forget where you were
But losing count of how many times I've wanted to whisper to you again
That's easier
Because I want to forget
God, I do
But instead I just forget little thoughts that I have
You're still here

We say that every day is new
But what's so new in remembering the same things and
Thinking the same things
And being the same thing
As you were yesterday
There's nothing better about smelling the cold of the air
And wishing you were somewhere warm without the lights
Turned on
And the sun coating our bodies in gold

Some things never change
And usually I'm okay with the way things are
But I don't want to remember you forever as the first love
And my last bit of emotion
I don't want to remember you at all
I just want to forget everything we've every said to each other and I want to forget every touch we shared and kiss we've stolen. Get out of my ******* brain because I want things to be normal again. They haven't been anywhere near for the past year.

Damp hands on sticky skin
With red clover marks shaped like hand prints on pale flesh
Translucent moans with interspersed sighs that
Fill silence like fog
Looks shared like the end of the world is near
Mass extinction of the senses as wind picks up
And then drops us over precipices
5 miles high
Breathless gasp of excitement
Before hitting the grass soft ground
Falling asleep to the sounds of waves
Hitting ribcages
Air moving out of
Lungs and throats
Warm sunny thoughts burned through eyelids
Blissful sleepy heads nestled into back seats
Of cars
Unnoticed
Thank God

it's raining
And I want nothing more than to be laying in his arms
Even though we've been talking for 4 days
It's like we've known each other our whole lives

I long for adventure with you,
over and over
again.

Seeing somebody's face while you talk is like magic
You can watch their expressions and
You can watch their eyes light up when they talk about something they love
Like the medal they earned for cross country
Or the pins they have for knowing how to make music
It's something different all together when you make eye contact with them
And they can't help but smile because you duck your head and blush
They make you feel like the world is revolving around you
Because all they do is look at you
And you're nervous and your heart misses so many beats
It's a shock you aren't dead
It's because they think of you as more than theirs.
They're yours too.
