newness

for what feels like

the first time

(in a long time)

i’ve met someone

and

everything’s exciting

it’s thrilling

exhilarating

to just

be myself

around him

and

i want to do nice things for him

i want to take off his shoes

make him tea

i want to draw ****** drawings of him

with sharpies

on napkins at parties

and i long to bring him home

go on long walks alone

with him

i wish to

write songs in his name

give him my earphones

(when his break)

and

we’re an

unlikely pair

and there’s

something

so infectious

about that
