Dear diary,

I was walking home today. I was surrounded by people. I’ve never felt so small. I wanted to cry.

-please don’t

Maybe in an alternate universe:
We wouldn't be divided
by oceans and mountains,
and times not synced.
Maybe we wouldn't be fearful.
Maybe we wouldn't be doubtful.
Maybe you would have green eyes
instead of blue.
Maybe I would have liked another
who isn't you.
Maybe I wouldn't even be writing this.
Maybe we would be beside each other,
Laying intertwined, in love and at ease.
Maybe.
Just maybe.
But who cares about other possibilities
when my universe is you?

I will love you like

how milk

diffuses with coffee;

purveying, beautiful,

and warm.

I will love you like

how a dog

loves his master;

honest, loyal,

and pure.

I will love you like

how the Earth

revolves around the sun;

scalding, vibrant

and just as important.

I promise I will love you

like no other.

I will love you,

you wouldn't look for another.

I love you.

*I already do.

Is there really
a wrong time for love?
Maybe it is right
but just never
meant to be.

(p)

His voice drowns out

what my mind could never not.

-10 word story (p)

She dreamt of him

wishing and hoping that

she'd get to brush her lips against his

without fear of waking up

and realizing that this was just

another dream.

She longed for him

with tears on her pillows,

clutching her chest,

willing her heart to stop aching.

She found him

the man of her dreams;

the man she'd always wanted.

But he's thousands of miles

away from her.

She loves him

with all of her heart..

with

all

of

her.

Sometimes I wonder
if you think about me
as much as I
think about you.

Sometimes I wish
I could just fly past
the hundreds of miles
between us.

Sometimes I want
to feel the warmth
of your lips
against mine.

Sometimes I will
myself to sleep knowing
that your beautiful face
will haunt my dreams.

If sometimes means
as often as
I breathe then
yes, sometimes.

(p)

you fell in love with his eyes,

and then his face.

you fell in love with his laugh,

and then the sound of his voice.

you fell in love with his quirk,

and then all of his flaws.

you fell in love with his present,

and then with his past as you knew more.

you fell in love with his brokenness,

and then his whole.

you fell in love with the idea of him,

and then with him.

(p)

You look for answers you're not sure you're ready for.

-10 word story (p)

you can tell me i’m beautiful

but i won’t believe you.

you can tell me i’m amazing

and still won’t have a clue.

you can tell me you love me

i’m sorry, it might seem that i doubt its truth.

you can tell me all these things;

i love hearing them from you.

i just hope that you won’t give up waiting

for me to whisper back “i love you, too.”

(p)

He wasn't afraid to lose her.
She was all his.

-10 word story (p)

I don't want you.

I need you.

I don't like you.

**I love you.

you have my heart.

you have all of me.

forever, always.

-10 word story (p)

Moments yet to happen;
His face I’ve yet to gaze;
Voice I beg to hear;
Eyes I crave to stare;
Lips I desire to taste;
Heartbeat I ache to feel;
Body I yearn to touch.
Missing.
Every.
****.
Thing.
About.
You.
It hurts.

your words-

a fire in my heart

a hitch in my throat

senses tingling

skin prickling

lips craving

toes curled

soul bared

a being aware

of the love you feel

for someone far away.

-save me

I see you standing there,
staring at you, unaware.
I smile and think,
"This is it. We've waited years.
But now you're here."
I cannot ask for anything more.
This has always been our dream.

I run towards you.
You look back;
your eyes meeting mine.
"Be still, my beating heart."
But it can't. It never can
when all I see is this man;
the most beautiful form of art.

You wrap me in your arms.
Tears fall down our cheeks;
pouring out all pent up feelings.
You hug me tight.
I bury my head on your chest.
I swear to God, this day is the best.

I look into your eyes;
those blue orbs I'll love 'till I die.
You lean in.
No words needed.
I know what you mean.
I wrap my arms around you,
wanting to feel more.
Scared, ecstatic, nervous?
I don't know anymore.

But your hands slipped away.
Everything is turning gray.
I open my eyes.
And see the sun's rays.
I'm back in my bed.
Waking up to your message instead.
"Good morning, love.",
with a smiling face.

Let me kiss your worries away.
I promise, baby,
that everything will be okay.

Let me hug you tight.
It's you and me, babe,
'Til the end, we'll fight.

Let me treasure your heart.
I'll be careful, my dear.
Take care of it, I must.

Let me spend my days with you.
I'll never leave your side, love.
I swear to you, this will remain true.
(p)

Afraid, I still am;

for what have been and what could be.

Doubtful, I’ve always been;

of the truth and what lies beneath.

Vulnerable, I always am;

my broken pieces he patched up and healed.

Strung, that I can’t deny;

my heart is his and always will be.

I waited for a long time.
But now you're here.

-10 word story (p)

don’t leave me.

don’t ever.

please.

i feel so empty.

   lost.

          afraid.

                 insane.

i look for myself

in you

more than

i look for myself

within me.

(p)

You don't know me.

Please stop pretending that you do.

-a conversation with my brain

Dearest,

you may be farther

but

my love will never falter.

i'll be waiting patiently

for you to come home to me.
