once you’re gone
lib Apr 2020
time
slipping through my fingers
your Picasso is losing inspiration
i’m not sure who i will be once you’re gone
and now you’re gone

rooftop nights
lib May 2020
we lay together
savoring strawberry sunsets
that roll into dark, star-filled skies
it won’t be long
until you’re gone

forever apart
though there’s little physical distance
i miss you the most
thinking of how we might never reunite
my heart aches, reminiscing our rooftop nights

our memories dance
waltzing clumsily within my dreams
although it's never quite right
i choose to believe
because it almost seems as if you're still here
and i’m praying you never leave

yet the morning always comes
sunshine seeping through the sill
though the sunrise is breathtaking
i will always prefer the darkness
of our rooftop nights
i can’t believe this is the end for us. i will never forget you.

the beauty of the present
lib Mar 2020
every day ends in a new sunset
and begins with a new sunrise
and there’s no one else
i’d rather have by my side

we’re taking our time
enjoying the journey
what’s the rush?
why would we hurry?

we’ll enjoy the moment
before it passes
we’ll raise a toast
and lift our glasses

and we’ll live our lives
one day at a time
someday we’ll grow old
but today, we will enjoy our prime

they say that life is short
and that there’s no promise of tomorrow
for now, we will live
and stop focusing on our sorrows

we’ll look forward for what’s to come
we’ll think fondly of the past
we’ll savor every second
up until our last
i originally wrote this poem for my school’s poetry contest, but i figured i’d share it with you guys, too!

dessert nights next to you
lib May 2020
our chocolate-dipped skies
they're cold and sweet as vanilla ice cream
their stars taste like sprinkles
i'll revisit them in my dreams
i miss them already

— The End —
