Gone.
I think...
Used to be right here.
I swear...
Let me check in the back,
Like lungs on shredded feet.
The rocking chair,
Nervous air still swings
...temporarily discarded, that's all.
On the couch cushion,
Here's his book of adventures
The laughter is unmistakable.
Yes I remember the sounds,
Have I seen?
Can I get you anything?
Of course I'm happy to help.
DON'T SIT THERE, that's an antique-
Enjoy the still air, untouched-
No, it's no worry, come on in
The one holding his kitten tight.
Who wanted to save the princess?
Where is the boy in this photograph?

you were the
song stuck in
my head
"Everything has an equal and opposite reaction"

Your absence spites my lungs
Her beauty subverts my patience
Your side-effect undermines his charm

But your pain doesn't equate mine
When you look into my eyes, do you see the damage?
I'm not crazy.
It's just imperative I let you know.
I enjoy each nanosecond we share.
Value every half, full and over the top smile you shoot my way.

You see I've searched the world.
And you're a gorgeous singularity.
That beaming personality,
brings me to my knees singlehandedly.

You were right when we talked about regret.
Live how you need to - ask for forgiveness later.
So don't hate me now.  

Because I'm telling you, somehow you mean a lot to me.
I like you and I'm probably just another guy you're being too nice to.
But I feel like this chemistry might be more solid than physics.

I'm a realistic person with an emotional soul.
I know me telling you this doesn't change anything in the 'now'.
I respect you far too much to make moves on your loyalty.
Because I haven't seen anything I don't like about you so far.

I know I've found a friend in you.
Someone truly special.
I just know there is potential for so much more.
In another world.

I'll lasso planets together until I find a place next to you once more.
My ever lasting perspective of you.
Whom I totally adore.

I creased these edges.
Folded them delicately.
Taped this box up gently.
For it holds my heart.
And every thought of you,
I can't control.
Stowed away in storage.
For when you're ready.
To know how I truly feel.

"I want to love you, but I don't know how. I want to love you. Pitch black, pale blue, these wild oceans shake what's left me loose, just to hear me scream for mercy."

In every thing that has been done.
Was decided and done by you.
The only person who can make a change in your life is YOU.
Not anyone.  Be a better person than your yesterday self.  Surround yourself with the people who really care about you.  But do not forget to return the favor.  As we all know this is what we call gratitude and not kissing ***.  We have used that term too much that we dont know whom to trust.  Sadly we have fed up our Pride that it grew bigger and fatter.......More than anything else.

Always have the heart to be NEW.
