you

chopped
two letters off
you've changed
(so have I)
but I want to know
why my body still
skips a beat or a whole
bone when I hear about

you.

i've worried for too long over
the things I cannot control
so today will be the last
time I write about

you.

Until I'm better.

hundred poems
because you left
a sort of permanence
on my skin, have you
written about me since
since
since

that weekend
i house-sat and
you spent the
night, i took
a picture of
you while
we were
laying in
bed and
I saw it
again
just
now
we had
this pliable
love about us
grown from
heartache
maybe
you only
did want one
thing or two or
three but in this
picture I know that
you loved
me.

"He was a skyscraper
she was a plane
she could surround him for hours
and nothing would change
until she began to fall
then he'd stand and stare
but only behind the glass
because that's how much he cared."

today a friend of mine told me that in china
they only say i love you when they really mean it;
she talked about it like it was a loaded gun,
like telling somebody i love you also meant
i'd **** for you, i'd die for you, i'd live for you.

i don't know how to be brave enough to say that
straight, but if i could, i would fly you across the globe
to help you understand.
does this make sense? idk, i'm sorry.
i can't think of any other way to word it
