We're almost touching.
we were walking side by side,
you're talking about cabs in your hometown.
I can feel the gravity of your hand, calling my fingers
whispering "it's alright."

We're touching but not quite.
you held my shoulder to protect me from the passing cars.
and for the first time in a long while, I felt so fragile.
In this world where I find it hard even to breathe,
you believed me.

I almost said it.
All I need is one ounce of strength to tell you every single thing that I have ever felt about you.

I want to find home in your collarbones.
Would you be kind enough to let a stranger in?
I want to seep in your being because I'm cold.
The world is harsh and my cracks are aching.

Almost.

You asked me why I like you
But I didn’t want to tell
Some of my reasons are cheesy...
But here is why I fell

I love the way your lips curve
When I make you smile
It makes me want to pull you close
And kiss you for awhile

I love the way your eyes twinkle
When you talk about things you love
I truely believe
You are a gift from above

I love that you are compassionate
You have such a big heart
That was the first thing I noticed
Right from the start

I love the way it feels
When you hold me tight
I finally feel safe
Like I could sleep through the night

I love that you don’t judge me
For my less than perfect self
That is more attractive
Than any amount of wealth

There are so many more reasons
But I’ll start with just this few
Maybe someday
I’ll give this poem to you

:)

It's 3am

I'm on the phone
No one's awake and I'm alone

It's 3am

The radio's on
Songs are played on lonely station

It's 3am

I'm in my bed
My eyes are open and sleep has fled

It's 3am

I'm on the balcony
The sky is dark and just quite scary

It's 3am

Some windows have lights
Could they also not sleep tonight

It's 3am

I'm still awake
When will life ever give me a break

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.

She’s the girl who loves to cry
She’s the girl who loves her books
The one that never asks why
The girl that always cooks

She’s the girl who loved you like ever before
She’s so young and she’s so lost
She’s the one person that always wants to give more
She’s the one who trusts too much

She’s everything nobody can explain
The girl who trusts love
She’s the girl who’s so simple but she’s far away from the word plain
The one who think’s she’s a fool

She’s the girl who’s been in the dark for too long
And to her I say: maybe you’re made out of stars
She’s the girl you’ve seen crying
Because her face was ***** in all the right places

She’s the girl who showed you her scars
The one that gave you more than she ever thought she was able to give
She’s the girl who dances alone
The one that believes en wishes

She’s the girl who has one particular nightmare
The one you’ve seen lost for almost five months
She’s the girl who doesn’t know where to go
But she’s the girl who has words

She’s the girl that keeps telling herself:
You’ll be alright
She’s the one who’s got the same wish on repeat
She’s the girl you’ve got daydreaming

She’s the girl who hates her freckles
She’s the one you’ll always see reading or writing
She’s the girl who doesn’t talk in her sleep
But she’s the one who’s screaming your name in the middle of the night

She’s the one who’s got you on her skin
She’s the girl who’s waiting for the stars to burn out
The one who’s obsession is the moon
She’s the girl who is exhausted but
Boy, she’s strong

She’s the girl with the loneliness that has the prettiest sad eyes you’ve ever seen
She’s the girl who loves her room
The one that would fight for you
She’s the girl who’s waiting at a shore for a sea that never comes

She’s the girl who lies about the color of her hair
The one who showed you a side of her that
She doesn’t show to anyone else
She’s the girl with too much noise in her head
The one that never see’s less

She’s the girl that still has a lot to offer
To love and to suffer
And now she knows:

She’s the girl who feels colors
The one that sees music
The girl who hears sadness
She’s the girl that listens to happiness

She’s the girl who is a poet
She’s the girl that you somehow lost
