I always thought we were the perfect match.
But matches are meant
                                   to ignite
                                         and burn out.

One day I'll take you on a trip
Across the stars and moons eclipse
We'll fly across the universe
Until we finally find the Sun
We'll circle round the only One
Then maybe then you'd see
You really are in love with me

One day I'll take you on a ride
Across the sea with waves so high
We'll float the oceans seas
We'd swim together just you & me
No tidal serge could set us free

One day we’ll journey too
My everlasting love for you
Our hearts forever surrendered close
No more breaks or sad goodbyes
Maybe then you'll love me most

I had my first dream last night that you weren't in.
not even a minor character,
your ****** name wasn't even in the credits,
let alone plastered across the sky in flashing lights
like you want it to be.
my first reality that you didn't belong in,
and it was the most blissful peace that I can remember since we bathed in pools of cloud.

I heard the first song that didn't make me think of you yesterday.
the lyrics, for once, were just lyrics,
not an embodiment of you and the things you do.
guess what?
it was coldplay.
you always hated coldplay.

this morning, I basked in the sun and didn't picture you coated in gold light beside me.
I didn't look at the leaves adorning the trees and picture your face laughing beneath it.

I didn't trace the plate lines of my palm and imagine the earthquake we used to create when yours collided with mine.

I didn't eat new food that I wanted you to try and I didn't want to share the smallest details of my day with you.

you may have won this poem, loverboy,
but don't be too triumphant.
your victory won't last long.
it's the era of my new beginnings without you and I'm going to be just fine.
