(i.)

in love with you like
the cities I've never been to
and the places I've yet to reminisce
about: like I'm running out of time.


(ii.)

my fingers get wanderlust
at the sight of your bare skin
and they wish to roam on
fascinating geography:
but i've never wanted to
travel without your smile.

(iii.)
they say all roads lead to rome
but I wish all roads led to you, especially
driving on the highway at 80 mph:
still wishing life would slow down.

(iv.)
wishes wherever i happened to be:
i used to wish on wishing stars,
and pennies at fountains,
and dandelion seeds,
and really ******* anything:
but i stopped once i realized
they wouldn't bring you to where i was.

(v.)
i don't know
where our final destination is,
but i promise to always
wait for you at any train station
even if the tracks
lead to **nowhere.
