i.
no matter what your teachers
may tell you, your grades are not a
measure of how smart you are, that
has more to do with how you handle your
heart, and i have never seen anyone love
more fiercely or smart than you.  

ii.
i have let boys touch me just because
i was scared to lose them; don't let them
lay a hand on you without you asking
them to, you are worth more than that.

iii.
people will walk away, but you've known
that already.  keep your chin up so that when
they turn back one last time, they know that
you don't need them.
you don't need them.

iv.
i hope you find somebody that holds your
hands, even when you're nervous and
they start to sweat.  if they pull away,
you come find me and i swear,
i won't let go.

If I told you I wrote this poem for you
Would you start loving me?
Craving me the way I crave you
Go insane
Live in a world where nothing else exists
Do everything to make me understand
Fail but keep trying
If I told you I wrote this poem for you
Would you instantly run into my arms?
Kiss my lips and stare at the stars
Forget the world
Forget yourself
Yet somehow remember
What I was wearing the first day we met
If I told you I wrote this poem for you
Would you spend your days thinking about me?
Coming up with excuses just to see my face
Go to the same coffee shop
Hoping for me to show up
Note down ‘Spiced latte, no sugar’
Just so if the day comes
You know what I would order
If I told you I wrote this poem for you
Would you start dreaming of the future?
A small chapel by the sea
Gathered friends and family
Vows and bells
Our kid’s show and tell
A family portrait hung on the wall
If I told you I wrote this poem for you
Would you be mine forever?
Let me die in your arms
Happy and loved
If you would
Then my love
I wrote this poem for you

(Kathmandu, Nepal 12/22/2013)

The world seems strange
They wont get what I feel
Honestly love, I don’t care
I swear this is real

Time just flew by
But you seem the same to me
I’ve fallen for every inch of you
Fallen deeper than the deepest sea

I wish you were all mine
All mine till the end of time
You give life to my sad existence
This worthless life of mine

Please tell me you feel it too
The chills to the bone, the highest of highs
Your touch could just **** me
You kiss could make me fly

Please tell me you feel this too
I don’t care if it’s just a lie
For your touch could light all darkness
One touch and I could die.

(Kathmandu, Nepal, 9/18/13)

Can't sleep, for I'm thinking of you
And all these feelings
You've put me through
I just want to write poems
In hopes that you will too
And one day we will show each other
What we stayed up late writing
While we were apart
From each other's aching hearts
We will laugh at the silly lines
And the metaphors that don't make sense
But we couldn't help but try
Just the thought helps us get by
You held my hand as we looked up at the sky
And once again, we said goodbye

And now these three remain:
◦ Faith
◦ Hope
◦ And Love.
But the greatest of this is
Love ♥

Your look says it all
There's no need for words
I feel it too
I know it burns
Screaming to come out
Simple words would set it free
But it's better this way
There's no need for words

Your smile says it all
There's no need for words
The doorway to your innermost secrets
I want to know it all
Those words would be heaven
Coming out of you
But it's better this way
There's no need for words.

(Kathmandu, Nepal 8/8/2013)

I saw the world in your eyes,
Those dreamy perfect eyes,
Soothing like the rainfall,
Yet so seductive,
Ah! Those eyes

I wasn’t me,
For you lived in me,
Running wild in my veins,
Not like a river,
But lava,
Deadly yet divine,
You could **** me,
Yet I would be saved

Don’t go away just yet,
Not until you see me,
The way I see you,
Till I run in you,
With every single breath,
Till every part of you
Is a part of me,
Till the world disappears,
Till you are me,
The way I am you.

Your kiss would do it
Just one
Is that too much?
It's all I've been waiting for
All my life
The softest touch of your soft lips
The feel of your tongue
What the universe was made for
Your kiss
Your lips pressed against mine
Ten seconds to define our entire existence
Is that too much?
Let me slow down
Forget the universe
Lets rediscover ourselves
I belong with you
You belong with me
And everything else that follows
Does that work instead?
Now about that kiss
I've craved it to a point where I ache for it
Is that too much??
Ok then let me come out straight
I think we are at a point
Where kissing is the only thing
Only sane thing that would lead to my insanity
Get me drunk enough to be sober again
Hear me out love
One kiss
That's all I ask
One kiss to save the world
For I might just lose it
But if you feel it's impossible
Then just say it's too much
And I''ll go kiss her instead.
