Do not make it her fault that you finally realized how incredible she was
And she realized she no longer has the desire to share it with you

One last touch,
To feel your skin again.

One last kiss,
To postpone our ending.

One last time,
To say goodbye again.

I think we almost kissed
I think we almost touched too good
I think we almost got too close to the thing we spend our time pretending isn't there

I think we're almost out of almost's

You and I
Are like
The moon and the sun
We circle in the same atmosphere
Loving the same sphere of life
Yet we never intersect

We are in an enternal rotation that forbids our love and yet we are legends to everyone around us

You shine so bright it's almost blinding but anyone who gets too close, burns
I captivate people with mystery and intrigue and soul but carry untold stories no one on earth could bear to hold

But then there is the rare moment
A brief second where we give into the gravitational pull between our bodies
And the eclipse of our love is something even the galaxies are jealous of

I have been loved a million times over for my body
If that's all you want
Get in line with the rest of the want-to-be men I've rejected in the last year

But if you can see my mind and want that
If you desire deep conversations past our capabilities to understand
If you want someone who knows how to never stop talking
But also knows when holding hands in silence is the most powerful statement of love
Then I will try with you

If you can look at my heart
And see the broken, mismatched pieces
And still want to love and be loved by it
Then I am yours

But if you don't want those things then please,
Do not ever bother me with petty lust not deserving of time

"Okay, you get one question. Anything you want to ask me. Nothing's off the table."

"If I... What if... Would you ever... Do you think that after all that I did, could you ever consider giving me a sec-"

"Yes."

There was a long silence. All he could do was focus on resisting the insanely intense magnetic pull dragging him towards her lips.

"Okay, my turn. How long do I have to wait for you to accept the fact that we're meant to be together?"

For the last five years I have treated you
As a closed door
Nailed shut
Buried in a graveyard I taught my heart to forget

But looking at you
Hearing the sound of our mixed laughter
Your warm brown eyes that have always felt like coming home  

I'm not so sure anymore
It just seems like this could work this time
And what an utterly terrifying thought
That I could end up with what I had always wanted from the beginning
How utterly poetic
If my first love also was my last

You taught me that asking meant leaving

Telling you, "you hurt me"
Chased you away
Asking you to accommodate my heart
Was "too much" for you to stay

And all the fools after you did nothing but affirm that
They only ever fed the fear you planted and watered in my heart

So now I'm silent
I keep my standards low and my expectations lower

I try to hush
The hopeless romantic desire
That someone would read my words and simply know how to love me

Fine.

If you want simple, easy, and comfortable
Then I will walk away right now.

But you know that we're not made for easy
You and I were made for hard, complicated, and confusing.

I am a fighter
And if you let me I will fight for you
But love has taught me there is no winning someone who's already decided the battle is lost.

So tell me now
Because "goodbye" is said too often when I'm with you.
 Jan 2017

And just like that
You were comfortable all over again

And even the thousand miles between us
Couldn't take you off my mind

I guess we will always be complicated
You'll always be the one person I can never figure out
I'll always be the girl you can never fully let go of

So my dreams will always be the place where I can fall asleep next to you
Knowing there's nothing complicated about the depth with which you love me

Sometimes I wish you had left me unkissed
So I could have just spent forever imagining how you taste
The curves of your chest
How special you made me feel when you looked at me

But you did kiss me
And I still feel your fingers tracing my lips
How strong your hands were when they grabbed my hips
There's no imagining it because I felt it all

The scars on my heart prove that I felt it
My broken heart is the only proof I have left of us

As they sat silently next to one another
She delicately slipped her hand into her old lover's

She smiled faintly and let out a small laugh the sounded more like a sigh
*"Funny isn't it? After all this time, you're still the most familiar thing I'll ever know."
