we've been apart from each other for so long
usually it'd be a normal day
where you'd walk me home
we'd pass by the tree i love so much
but don't know the name of
we'd see my favorite fish
tancho
we'd go down the roads
we hold hands on
sneak a kiss or two
when no one is around
this is what i need
you by my side, holding my hand, sneaking kisses
time away from you kills me
promise me when we're together again
we'll go see the tree
the fish
the roads
somewhere only we know
i only want to be there with you
and only you

so this is love
this is the feeling
i've been longing for
for so long
fondness
tenderness
that intense feeling of deep affection
love is when he holds your hand
when he texts you "I'm at the cafeteria"
love is when you want to hold him in your arms
or when you’re wrapped up in his
that warm embrace
its the one you want to be in for days
love is also when you two argue
no relationship is perfect
but you two could be perfect for each other
flowers bloom every time he says he loves you
after a day you’ve spent mad at him
it’s beautiful
and that’s love

the light that our sun gave us
it never meant that much to me as a kid
growing up i learned it was harmful yet essential
in various ways
as a teenager i saw it as something that made my skin
darker, and gave me more freckles and moles
but now
the sunshine is different
its what makes me smile
makes me laugh
what holds my hand and kisses me ever so romantically
i love the sunshine
my sunshine, to be specific
i love my sunshine

lemon bread & cupcakes
strawberry lemonade
sugar-coated, everything
no one opens up.
sugar-coat it? okay
it'll be alright
i will write
and write
and write, write,
writing keeps
me quite busy.

as she settled into her new place
piecing together everything she thought she needed
she came to the realization that she was lonely
so very lonely.
she searched for someone
anyone. anyone to be by her side
anyone who wanted to be her friend
he didn’t want what she wanted
but they both slowly fell in love
he said it first
she said it again and again
he repeated it for her every time

they went on adventures
they planned the impossible
well it wasn’t really completely impossible, but just for them at that specific moment in time
they were in love and wanted to be alone together
but they had to wait for it
they had to work hard for it
they wanted it so bad

when they argued, they knew how to mend everything
they knew what to do
she would explain her side
he would explain his side
they would meet in the middle
she thought she wasn’t enough
he thought he wasn’t enough
they met in the middle
they would always meet in the middle
that’s what made them perfect for each other
when they held hands, it just felt right
their bodies were meant to embrace each other, for they were each others missing puzzle pieces

but responsibility kept them apart
it took him away from her
she wasn’t complete without him
but they pushed forward together, apart
they managed at first
it was hard. it was really hard.
but love kept them together
until he wanted to focus on himself
he wanted to become a better person
she wanted to as well
so they grew up without each other

she still cries
she doesn’t know how he’s doing
she doesn’t know if he had a good day or not
she doesn’t know if he ate already
she misses him
she still loves him
but that’s just how it is
she’ll manage
he will too

at least she hopes he does.

push me in
pull me out
we just go back and forth
like the tides
blue everywhere
and then complete darkness
pushed all the way down below
because of the tides

i have not written for so long
for so so long
i have remained dead for so many months
i feel as if the world hates me
but in reality
i hate the world
i hate what it has done to me
i hate what it has given me
i hate what it has become
this is why i believe that
the world has turned and left me here

I’m a person with a wide taste in music
you know that
but there are songs that get on my nerves
and some that I can listen to
over and over again
and not get sick of them
you’re the reason behind those songs
you are what runs through my head
all the time
and I never get tired of you
I want you in my head
I want you running through my head
because I love you
those songs
every one reminds me of you
no matter what you do to me
what keeps me away from you
you’ll always be running through my head

and hopelessness
wraps itself around
my not so small frame
and when it does
it is like a boa constrictor
squeezing hard enough
to rupture my blood pressure
hopelessness is merciless when it comes to me

but sometimes
I am hopelessness
upon myself do I become a boa constrictor
upon myself do I become merciless
this is when I think that no one
not a single soul
can come and save me
except for one

i thought being busy
would be good for me
instead
it drains me
wrings me out and hangs me to dry
on a hot sunny day
and then comes along stress
to think i could handle it
words cannot express
how wrong i was

the truth will always come out
no matter it's content
you cannot run from the depths of truth
because no matter where you run
and hide
and no matter how completely still and silent you stay
it will find you
and devour you like a child with candy
but you must accept fate
and deal with the outcomes
if you survive or not
truth will digest you slowly
and take you down a path you don't have control of
yet none of this would have happened in the first place
if you took truth by the hand and asked it for a dance
this is called lying
dishonesty
you spin truth around and waltz as well
truth will never be the same again
it will say
"i fully accept you"
and that's when your lies become a blanket
for truth to wrap up in when asleep

possiamo scappare insieme?
la tua mano nella mia, come un sogno
sì, potremmo avere i nostri argomenti
ma ciò non significa che non ti amo
ti amo così tanto mio tesoro
la mia vita senza di te è incolore
così quando sei venuto
sono stato completamente portato via
il mio cuore è tuo, amore mio
la mia felicità sei tu
l'** trovato in te
il mio amore la mia vita
grazie per essere entrato nella mia vita
non sai quanto sei importante per me
#21 // per l'amore della mia vita

wow! she's alive!
up and writing
barely surviving
sure i can still process things
but that doesn't mean i'm not dying
slowly
slowly makes everything worse
when things go slowly for you
all you want to do is press fast forward
so things will end
but then you realize
all the stuff you want to do
all the things you want to accomplish
you don't want to skip that
during times like this i don't want to press fast forward
i want to live in the moment
but that doesn't mean i's slowly dying
slowly
like the snail in your front yard
imagine how long it will take him to reach his destination
imagine how long it will take me to reach my destination
"can we just stop for a second?
i want to take this in"
she said as the sun set
he wanted it to go by quicker
but little did he know
he was always the one in a rush
while she took and spent every second she had
on things she loved to do
she loved to read
she loved to write
she loved to sing and paint
she loved to watch the sun set
she loved to be with him
but all he wanted to do is think about the future
will he graduate college?
will he get a good job?
what will happen to him?
that's all he ever thought about
until she left him
and she didn't look back
because he was still busy looking forward
and she
looking down at her brown worn out boots
took a step forward
wow! she lives
there she goes
she will travel to the ends of the earth
spending every second she has
living in the moment
not looking back or forward

new love
it came like a new year
a fresh new start
new resolutions
bucket lists of things to do
places to go
movies to watch
i have been so hurt
and so has he
yet
here we are
we both have a new love
and we are happy
happy like the birds who finally find something to eat in this godforsaken world
happy like the baby you make laugh on the escalator
i love this new love of mine
he's tall and handsome
with those beautiful eyes and voice that makes my heart melt
he makes my knees go weak every time i see him
and he's here
living in the now
with me
and me only
i know him and trust him completely
he has my heart and my soul
my love and attention
my concern and care
there's nothing i wouldn't do for my love
and
i don't plan on losing him anytime soon
