You were found in my ignorances

The things I chose not to see in myself,
you found in me

This contagious, spontaneous, fun house walk-through, reflecting only the compassionate parts of us two

I remember the first time you said you loved me.
I remember.
I held to it.
I felt the world tip and sway when you lips finished moving.
You said it.
I remember the first time you told me I was it.
I was the one.
I remember.
It felt as though we were living in sensational color.
We lived for each other.
Your exhale was my inhale.
We held each other like mothers held their babies.
Every moment was spent reveling in new things we had to show each other.
I gave you the parts of me no one had ever seen,
and in return you did the same.
Tears fell from your eyes, I kept every one
every one.
But it ended.
And in some way it ended me too.

When the world seems to crumble...
remember
hold on
wrap yourself in the warm hands of your loved ones
sleep
learn new things
write
dream
do
become
know there will be more to come
cry
just be
and then one day you will be able to take those photos out
play those songs again
eat at that restaurant
drive down that road
one day
but that's ok if today isn't that day
your ok
you will be ok
I promise
You know those Chinese tea cups? And how if they chip or crack they fix them, by using gold to glue them back together. They highlight the mistake. Illuminate it.

His voice was muffled

He rang,
I answered

Each word he said came with a crackle and the loss of a letter

To me, it didn't matter that I couldn't hear every word he said

To me, he spoke so I would I understand

And I did,
even through the distortion

And every time he spoke,
he meant 'I love you'

when i first saw you
i knew
what your smile
would do
to a mind
like mine

i waited
patiently
for you
to ask my name
to hear
your voice
for the first time

you're like a song
an endless melody
weaving words together
with just a smile
it's been awhile
but you make my heart run for miles
something about that smile
gives me butterflies inside
I swear, that smile could light up the sky

i lay awake at night
with a thought confined mind
going over
what’s already over
between us
and how
love changed
to the dust under our feet
please
i can’t sleep
i can’t stop
wondering why
you’re so consumed
with fitting in
within an unfit people
why can’t you realize
that in my eyes
we only have to fit each other

The sun is shining,
and yet no warmth reaches to me
A cold shadow looms over,
and I chose to hide within
I know nothing of these people,
and yet I ache to understand
What is it they see?

Do they pretend and give fake smiles too?
Dejected from their thoughts,
yet I feel perfectly fine-
There is peace, even in this cheerless place

Accept everything as it is,
and don't dare glance back
Do not keep your melancholy feelings
all to yourself, just stand tall.
Expect absolutely nothing and
do not bother to lean on another
Written back in 2011
I have watched
the silver rough
come against
the fissures of
wet stone.
And no—
it does not look
to let up. Its own
glimmer is not
good enough.
