Would you believe me
if I said that you're my Eternity?

You make me want to get better.
And for once, I believe I can.

If I'm the one who taught you how to love,
does that mean
I'm the one who taught you how to fall out of it, too?

I don't know where I'm headed
I don't know what the future has in store
But today I danced in my kitchen
And sang while walking down the sidewalk
And I have a sneaking suspicion
That everything will be okay

I can't help but feel like
a little fish
in an enormous ocean
whenever I see you.

I've never felt so alone.

I hope my hands can one day hold
a empty heart and fill it with love.

I sit here
with a blank sheet of paper,
ready to tattoo it with the words of my heart.

I knew I loved you
when the first thought
I had when I saw you
was that I was finally
home.

And just like that, I began looking for you everywhere I went.

He looks at you as if
you were an art piece.
Beautiful,
appreciated,
unique.
I wish you could see yourself
like that too.

No one is truly gone
if you still carry them
with you in your
heart.

Scarlet sun dancing on the horizon,
Amber leaves fluttering to the ground,
Golden rays shining through windows,
Lime carpets of grass, wet with morning dew,
Aqua skies hovering ever so high,
Violet flowers waving in the wind.

In another universe

We're still here

My head is on your chest

I can hear your heartbeat

We're still here

I have traveled far and wide,
and yet I still don't feel
Like
        I
          Belong.

I've found that the most beautiful thing we can learn
is to love who we are, not who we want to be.

You laughed at the absurdity of my story, but there was something in that sound that felt like the beginning of something.

You were once my light,
but now I've found that I can be my own sun.

The best things in life are often
the things hidden behind
disbelief
and
fear.

I wish I could tell you how I feel,
but all I can do is stare at this blinking cursor
and think the words instead.

I see now that it wasn't either of our faults.
Sometimes two people are only meant to be
in each others lives to teach a lesson.

I don't know how I could've lived a whole life before meeting you

When people ask why I stayed so long,
the only thing I can think of is:
The only future I saw for myself
was one with him in it.

I hope you know
I'm rooting for you.

You may not be in my life anymore
But I hope all your dreams we talked about
come true.

I hope you make it wherever you want to go
Even if I'm not beside you there.

"Why do you always look at me like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like there's nothing else that matters."

"Because there isn't, not when I'm with you."

Sometimes
my only          comfort
is a mind

emptied






of it's thoughts.

See,
I am made of sunrises
blotches of color painted by weary hands.

I am made of stars
picked straight from the sky by tiny fingertips
reaching for something more.

I am made of laughter and tears
and as my much too heavy shoulders shake
you'll wonder

what I am carrying after all.

I hope we can find each other in this life.
And if not, then I'll wait for you in the next.

I wish I could engrave every moment I spend with you
into every part of me

I want to leave our mark upon the world and
if we ever were to cease

I'd shake my fist at the sky and shout

"We were here!"
"Do you hear me!"
"We were here!"

To you who feels like the world is against you,
You Deserve To Be Loved.

I have never been one for romance
I never really know what to do
but I long for the chance
to make an advance
and dance to silence with you.

I'm sure at first it'd be funny
we'd look at each other and laugh
we'd swing and we'd sway
we'd dance every way
and cherish the love that we have.

For the silence we hear
Is not the absence of words
But rather things we need not say.
We both already know
How our hearts have been connected
From the very start up til today.

So I may not be a love song
But I'll show you in every way that I know
Til the day that we're gone
You'll know you belong
Like the flowers that bloom in the meadow.

Every now and then
I find myself back in your arms

We're laying on your bed
and there's a video playing on the tv

Every now and then I am yours again
if only for a moment

But you are not here anymore
we will not share any more of those moments

Every now and then I miss them
I miss you

I find myself holding on
to things that didn't
put in the effort
to hold on to me.

I hope you get everything you wanted
And I hope you play in the snow

I hope the fireplace is warm
and the lights twinkle and glow

I hope you find comfort
and I hope you find your way

I hope that you'll remember me
and hope that I'm okay

Some people
find comfort  in listening to music
indulging in the melodies
the words,
the feelings,
and how they warm your soul.

I know it used to be hard to find even one good thing
to talk about each day,

But I hope you know

I find myself here now
with so many moments I want to hold onto
that I pay for extra storage on my phone
and take as many photos as I can
so I can take the good times with me
and talk about them each day.

I take those photos for you,
for us,
to remember that there is always
something worth fighting for.

Sometimes I feel
i'd give you the world
if only you'd ask.

No star in the sky could
in their best efforts
evade my hands that stretch
as far as Eden for you.

From the beginning
until doomsday hails, forever
on and on my love will wrap us
in the warmth of home.

I have never wanted to hold onto something so much before
To irrevocably give you everything I have
If only it help you realize
I have known you my whole life
In the way that you are the flowers I have loved every spring
And the stars I have always admired every night
You have always been there
Even if I didn't know it
And now that I do
I want to hold this feeling forever
If you'll let me

To be honest I was gonna try to write a sappy love poem but all I could come up with was:

I am very happy you're here with me.

I've always had trouble sleeping.
It used to be because I'd stay up
every night
just to talk to you.

Now it's because it's cold
every night
without you warming my heart
and the tears don't seem to stop
without you there to wipe them away.

I don't know why I run after people
who will never run after me.

If there was one sight
I wish I never saw...
It would be your back
as you walked away
from what we had.

Every now and then
I become 10 years old

I'm laying in my parents bed
melting into worn sheets and heavy blankets

I can hear my sister on the phone
she's chatting about some math test

The walls were always thin

I can hear my mother with the vacuum
and my father and brother cooking breakfast

They are toasting english muffins
and scrambling eggs

The bacon is sizzling
and the hash browns are crispy

I can smell it now as it floods my house
seeping into the hallway and into the room

The birds outside are singing
and the sunlight is golden as it carresses
my weary, aged eyes

But I am 10 right now
my shoulders have no weight to carry

And I feel as though I am one with the wind
slowly floating away from where I should be,
back towards home.

They say that sometimes
holding on hurts more
than letting go.

I let you go
in hopes of my heart
becoming as okay
as yours when I'm
not with you.

It feels like my
shoulders are lighter
my smile is brighter
and I'm finally whole
again.

I told myself
I'd forget
every moment
every laugh
that I shared
with you.

But as I
lay awake
at 3am
I find it hard
to let go of
my best
memories.

You can ask anyone who knows me
I have never been the best at remembering things
I leave my thoughts scattered across the coffee table in my head
But when it comes to you my dear
You are just too important to forget

My love for you is growing
just like the flowers in bloom.

It has rained for the past few days. The clouds have hung low and water darkened my world. The cold seeped through my coats and the wind constantly attacked.

But today I saw the sun. The ground is drying up and the water is fading. The cold doesn't hurt as much and the wind is much softer.

As much as I love the rain, I feel like this is a new beginning for me. One where I get to see the light everyday. One where I am thankful to be alive.

My heart is filled with deadly shards.
And the more I feel,
The more it hurts.
