jesus christ we are not
a mistake. we are not
simply two people with
colliding paths- we were
made for this (this love,
this heartbreak) by the
fingertips of what you
told me once was a man
named Destiny and his
partner Fate. because
you and I, we are bigger
than the walls that define
love. we have been called
home by longing mouths
and collapsing ribcages, by
the string connecting my
stomach to your left lung.
there's no way this was
all some cosmic accident.

I fell in love with the way you slept-
the way you murmured and
reached out for me, your fingers
finding the tender spot behind
my ear and pressing until I could
feel my heartbeat blending with yours.

I haven't
figured out
how my
heart
is still
beating
after this
time. And
I'm not okay
but I'm able to
breathe a little
bit easier this
week and
god that
must
count
for
something.

I don't know how
to be friends with
you when simply
watching you talk
to other people
hurts my head.
today I am especially not okay.

and it was not
love at first
sight, but
it was love
at first chin stroked
by your thumb,
at first soft
kiss
in the middle
of your living
room, at first
morning waking
up with your face
buried in my neck

You said,
"I'm not
worried
though
because
my heart
belongs
entirely
to you."
"And
mine
to you,
as well."

You
          walked me
          to my car,
          tucked me
          into your
          arms, let
          me take
          a second
          to breathe
          in the scent
          of laundry
          and leaves
          hanging
          heavily on
          your coat
          one last time.
          I wanted to
          dissolve into
          the fabric. I
          wish we could
          have ended
          up differently.
