i lost my youth in quarantine;
my mother died and i turned nineteen.

and now the world is bigger than it's ever been,
(but the grass was greener in oregon)
im back!

this is not the body of the boy i knew,
they found your body;
it wasnt you.
i know this has a stranger things ref but its about the first hug i gave my ex when i hadnt seen him in months

i feel you breathe with your hands in my hair
and if you squint the lights look like stars.

i hold your hand
and you hold mine
and for the first time in a long time
i know we will be okay.
on a wednesday in a cafe i watched it begin again

did you ever think of me
those nights we were apart?
and if i never crossed your mind,
could you've at least of used your heart?

i think it might be best
if we just stop
because we always do better
when we dont have to talk.

im sorry i havent been better;
i promise you ive tried.
but no one seems to notice
the pain behind my eyes.

im sorry i keep crying,
i just dont know what to say.
my words would only be empty,
and you would turn away.

im sorry that i must leave so soon;
i really cannot stay.
i know that i seem fine,
but i am not okay.

im sorry that my time is up;
im ready to say goodbye.
i know this might be hard,
but i promise ill be fine.

im sorry for apologizing,
(its really all i know).
i promise that i love you,
but its time for me to go.
i found this in a diary from freshman year and its one of the only poems ive written that rhymes.
