We held so much promise in our youth
Believing that together, we could change the world
It was a time before the darkness had settled into both of our bones.
Before pain had found a home inside our chests.
We were just two people searching for something more
Some grander purpose.

It wasn’t until much later,
With the consequences of the years that followed on our shoulders
That we realised,
Instead of changing the world
We lit a match
And watched it burn
We weren't the heroes after all

Being told to not rush things.
Longing, yearning, dreaming of what’s to come.
And yet
There is an incapability to step forward.
So I ask,
Are we really rushing love?
By not letting it bloom it’s value
Right there, in that moment of truth.
Or is it just unnecessary opinions,
Given to us because we’re afraid of the inevitable?
We want to change the world but not what holds us back.
“Don’t rush.”
“The time will come.”
“If it’s meant to be...”
You say “You will just know.”
You say “There isn’t always a reason.”
But, you still say
“Don’t rush.”
“It’s too soon.”
How long do you wait
When you know it’s right?
In this moment, this is right.
In this time, nothing else matters
Because my time is now.
And yet, in that moment too long,
We fail to realize that we had our chance.
We had our shot to go for it!
To tell our truth
To kiss in that booth
Before we said goodbye.

The bravest thing a person can do
Is love another
Even when you know they won't last

For Sara.

You've lost all you've caught.
& what you've got is not your senses.
Not your lights.
Not your couch.
Not your fences.
Written on your face.
Says all is nothing.
& tasteless.
What's it to grace.
& hope.
When your atoms greet the pavement.
From a thousand feet up.




Garrett Johnson.
Perhaps it's the color of the universe.

I like the word “yet”
Because it opens the door
To possibility

You don’t love me
Yet
But that doesn’t mean
You never will
I’ve had writers block for months and haven’t written while I worked on myself. I’ve gotten into a healthier mindset, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

I was shown I am no one special
Not enough to make you stay..
Didn’t give you enough..
But it’s not like I even could of.
You wanted things I will never have
You broke. And now I am left broken
So Thankyou, for showing me the truth.
