a moment so fragile, so precious, so rare
that when you try to put it into words
even the most beautiful words fail you.
heaving shoulders heavy hearts
shaky breathing comforting arms
squid-shaped clouds against a gradient sky
tired eyes that close to let yourself fall apart.
pinky promises stay strong
something bigger than the both of us
looms,
but for now i think i could spend forever in your arms

contextually inappropriate but i felt the need to pen this down
it felt like something bigger
i am afraid of the deflation
please don't leave me empty again

15/5

maybe one day you will talk to me again
and i will stare blankly at you, confused
you will then say that you're "sorry"
and maybe explain why you did what you did
i will continue to look at you, confused
and know that you are not the person
whom you once were, or that i thought you were
and i will feel upset, for a little while
until i remember that you were the one who broke something beautiful
and stopped answering your phone
the one i used to say goodnight to isn't here anymore, no -
and i don't think he'll be coming home.
