Because when I compare myself to you
There is no comparison
You are perfection
And I am just a lump of flesh and bones
You told me you couldn’t understand how a girl like me would ever like you
When the truth it
How could such a lost girl as myself not like such a perfect idealist boy like you
See when you grasped my hand I shivered
Because you epitomized everything I had ever loved
You kissed my lips and I melted
For you were the sun and I was the dark night sky only bright when a full moon stopped by
You had never loved
I had lost everything because of love
But we knew we could try this
If only I realized
You were lost too, and to you
I was perfection

The sounds of summer
Laughter echoing off each and every wall
Songs blaring through the speakers
Hollers of teenagers getting a thrill
Cars honking in afternoon traffic
Water filling up the small kiddie pool
Birds chirping at 9:27am
Lovers breathing heavily
The summer breeze brisking through all the trees
Best friends’ whispers in the early morning hours…
Every moment another sound, every sound another memory

The way you stared
Had me hooked
You were an addicted drug I couldn’t get enough of
You were the sip of alcohol that caused me to forget
You were the blade slicing through my skin
You were the sickness to end my healthy streak
You were bad
Addictive
Fatal
Damaging
But that’s what I loved about you
The pain

I returned your sweatshirt
Burnt your notes
Hid your earrings
Poured out your perfume
Gave away your scarf
Deleted your pictures
Gave back your charm
Threw away your pick
And with each action
You
Became a
Memory

symbolize love
symbolize grace
symbolize importance
represent kindness
represent remembrance
represent gentleness...
but this bouquet
symbolized broken hearts
symbolized falling
symbolized irrelevance of me and my feelings
represented hatred
represented memories forgotten
represented harsh words once yelled...
this bouquet
once blooming and beautiful,
now dead and crinkled
scattered on my floor
symbolizing a love
now forgotten

Eat that slice of pizza
drive that car until midnight
jump in that lake
drink that sip of alcohol
wear that outfit for 3 days
don't shower
put on that extra makeup, or wear no makeup at all
sit outside and watch the stars
smell those flowers
enjoy it all while you're young and able
because in the end
we only regret the chances we never took

Everything fell into place
Your chest on mine
Your arms wrapped around mine
Your hips pressed against mine
Your hands grasping onto my back
Pulling me closer
Your lips on mine
Everything fit perfectly
You were my destiny
