lovely little letter
jamie Sep 2017
my favourite flavour
has always been cherry
it’s just sweet and lovely

much like you
you’re funny
and bubbly

you make me smile
and laugh when im
feeling down

if i had to pick
a flower to give you
it’d be a rose

and not just because
it’s your middle name
but because it’s beautiful

and you my dear
are absolutely
breathtaking

but what does it mean
to be in love
with someone like you?

well, i’d say it starts
with inside jokes
and lots of laughter

or maybe spending time
together by watching
livestreams or videos

it quite possibly
could’ve started with
your kindness

you seem impossible
yet
here you are

you’re real
and you exist
and i’m incredibly happy

to call you
the one that
i love
i'm so in love with you and i'm honestly ecstatic

unspoken
jamie Sep 2017
i don't know how you
feel about me anymore

i know we're friends
who tell one another secrets

but maybe there's one more
secret we haven't told

what if i were to say
i had feelings for you

we've been here before
things didn't quite work out

but i can't help but feel
there's something more

lingering thoughts
missing touch

maybe one day we could meet
or say these things in person

but for now
i'll sit here

with my poetry and music
while you're across the ocean

with your poetry and music
possibly thinking the same things

distraction
jamie Apr 2017
a library opened late last night
an abundance of books
yet, all i want to read
is the emotions on your face

solar system romance
jamie Sep 2016
you shine bright as the sun
you're as beautiful as the
stars in the night sky

you're more brilliant
than a shooting star
more rare than a comet

i'm red with anger
much like mars
over not being in the
same room as yours

your blue eyes
draw me in and
make me feel safe
and comfortable

much like uranus
and neptune
their beautiful pale blue
color matches your eyes

don't forget the kindhearted
yellow color of venus
named after the goddess
of love aphrodite

that planet can represent
my love for you
because you're my light
in the darkness

of all space
and to end this
know that if you leave
like pluto

i'll miss you dearly
so please stay
another lightyear
and be my moon

together we'll create harmony
within ourselves
and within each other
because we're all stars

fire and flames
jamie Sep 2016
one simple word can
ignite the spark inside of me
the flame slowly grows
fueled by the harsh words

society has it's standards
i've never fit with them
probably never will
and i get hate for that

more days weeks years pass
the fire growing higher and hotter
one day it will become something
that i can't put out

one day i hope to douse the flames
with your ice cold love
and your beautiful words of comfort
til there's nothing left but red glowing embers

but for now
i'll sit here
and watch the sparks fly off
the crackling fire

impossible distance
jamie Sep 2016
three thousand three hundred and thirty four miles
that's the distance that separates us
somehow it feels like so much more

it hurts to know that you could be so close
in the mere matter of a plane flight
just a few hours and then we'd be together

but it seems impossible now
between my life and yours
sometimes it seems that it might not even be worth it

i get questioned about you by friends
i never know the correct answers
because i've never seen you in person

i've never held you in my arms
i've never played with your hair
i've never had pillow fights with you

and somehow i feel like
i bring you down
and it makes me feel bad

because im nothing important
im just a terrible person
and you're you

an incredible
beautiful
great
person

and if i ever hurt you

im sorry
its late, and my head hurts, and im a mess

Learning to Live Again
jamie Jul 2016
Months have passed since we first spoke.
I've changed a lot,
And I'm sure you've changed too.
It's been a learning experience.

I've been learning to appreciate more,
To appreciate and be thankful for what I have
And who I am lucky to know.
Things have been getting better.

You've learned about many things.
Some I couldn't even begin to imagine.
But I'm glad you're taking you experiences
And not using them as self destruction tools.

More importantly.
I believe in you and I have learned
What it's like to feel love.

I've never felt safer with someone.
I feel happiness.
I know what it's like now to be cared about.
And I hope you feel the same way.

Thanks to you.
I've learned to live again.
And I wonder if it's the same way
For you.
you make me feel like i'm floating on clouds and that everything is okay again.

questioning love
jamie Jul 2016
love is a broad topic
you can talk about your
love for a certain food
or for a specific person

or maybe you're talking
about your favorite hobby
or a movie or book you enjoyed

but what is love?

it's the feeling you get
when you see your best friend
randomly at the mall

the smell of the air before
the windy storm
in the spring evening

the touch of soft fur
from your pet
scratching their back
as they look at you
with happy eyes

the sight of the sun
shining through the clouds
when you've had a
long, hard day

love is many things
more than i can describe
however

i can always describe
my love for you
and it's never changing
nor ending

because you
my dear
are truly one of a kind

and
i
love
you
interpretation ; life is for you to live through your own look on the world and everything in it.

simple things of life
jamie Jun 2016
rain drops on green plant leaves
cloudy grey skies
thunder  and lightning
all happening around you
while you sleep under
your pillow fort

sun shining through trees
that are high above you and me
a bee buzzing around
looking for nectar in flowers
of pinks and purples

a small sail boat
drifting away in the deep blue sea
fishes swim by
unaware of the humans above
on dry land

silent walks alone in the woods
just you, me, and nature
birds soar and  land in a nest
feeding it's young

holding your hand
kissing your lips
hugging your torso
smiling and laughing together
and maybe some other things too

life can go by quickly
so take time to admire
those whom you love
sights that make you want to explore
and just experience things
you haven't before
I wrote this because sometimes you just need to remember the things in life that make you happy and are the reasons you're here and living.

Life of a Bird
jamie Jun 2016
Life is never easy
Even when you think
Things are figured out

Changes can happen
In a blink of an eye

And yet,
All the birds
Are still flying high

Up in the deep blue sky
Wonder if they know
Where they're flying to?

I wish to be free like a bird
But sadly
I'm just a mere human

So I'll sit here
With my laptop
And fly into the
Great unknown

While thinking about
Flying away
To a new place
To stay

Remembering
jamie May 2016
I remember the mornings,
Where I'd wake early.

I remember the days,
Hot with the sun's rays.

I remember the evenings,
Catching fireflies in mason jars.

I remember the nights,
Crisp and clear. Stars shining beautifully.

Oh how I wish I can remember when I was happy.
When will I be able to go back to the simpler days?

run on our ship
jamie Mar 2016
i wonder if one day
we both wake up
and everything will be okay

our problems will vanish
we’re both happy

whether we’re together
or not
that won’t matter

i’m not looking to go after you
i’m letting you run free
go chase your dreams

i’ll stand back
and watch you
and smile

because i’ll know that
you’re happy
which makes me content

i don’t need to have you
as someone more than
friends to be happy

because friendship
is the best ship
i could have

discarded in the shadows
jamie Feb 2016
our memories
all burnt down
the house i had them
stored in

gone
up in ashes
i dont know what
caused the fire

i can’t help
but feel
like this is
supposed to happen

we had a good run
and here we go now
off on separate ways

you wander into the sunlight
while i slink back into
the darkness from
which i once came

i wish you a good life
with him, her, or
whomever you end up with

i’ll try not to forget
how you treated me
that one day

when i was discarded
by everyone else
into the shadows
and you found me

you were my flashlight
and now your batteries
have disappeared

and i’ll do the same.

— The End —
