love comes to me in waves,
but will i ever have the ocean?
would i be the one you'd save?
or would you leave me, frozen?

on the shore, the water delivers gifts
such as words from faraway lovers
the further away i drift,
the more i begin to suffer

he kisses me repeatedly,
never missing a single beat
i ponder, if only
there was a chance we could ever meet

someplace in the middle,
where stillness would allow us
even something just a little,
in that, i would trust
i've been dreaming of you more and more ♡

the sun rays danced on your skin
in a dream, if i recall
you were the loveliest of them all

i felt a single touch,
that was your arm across my shoulder
a hint of your lingering smolder

a warm feeling on my temple,
the fiery passion of your kiss
for once, i remembered our bliss

you breathed life into my lungs,
simply for being authentically you
you washed away all of my blues

feels as though i knew you in a past life,
could it be that we’ve crossed paths?
if i told you, would you laugh?
it all feels too familiar ♡

the start of another age;
i no longer wish i wasn’t lonely
because the past is long gone
and i have found peace within myself
thank you to all the family, friends, and experiences who have shaped me into who i am today <3

she’s everything i am,
and everything i could be
she gets tired and lonesome,
and she’s suffered for me

she’s strong and capable,
and someone i look up to
her unconditional love is powerful,
and she’s lessened every pain i’ve gone through

time after time again,
she’s forgiven my selfish ways
because she has always been a part of me,
and she’s always here to stay
a letter to myself

some days he is the sun,
at times he is the darkness
as much as i tried to love him,
his entire being was tarnished

i have so much love for him,
but i didn’t know whether to believe
that it was him who captured my heart,
or the versions of him i conceived

i offered him the world,
he gifted me the wheel of fortune
said that fate was the ultimate test
but i had already driven myself to exhaustion

my love, i flew too close to the sun
and then the darkness encapsulated me
maybe deep down, you loved me too
but i deserve to be free
incorporated some tarot into my poem for once. wrote this in class in a whim. ♡

i’ve allowed the halfheartedness of past lovers to swallow me whole,
to flood my mind with worrying thoughts and melancholic sentiments,
to dictate my natural being and my sacred core,
and to make me believe that they were the ones to save me

my love cannot flow to those whose hearts are guarded
i cannot force the purity of my intentions on those who abuse it
but now i constantly wonder,
if it is you who will actually choose it
to someone. ♡

vi
though it feels like i’ve waited forever,
i’m glad i found you again
in this lifetime
everything about you feels so familiar ♡
