Jul 2018
The sun is shining outside the cafe doors
I need a lotta light
I need all the light.

Mama sent me photos of a new house
You held me down by the neck and made me
Release
Walls get covered in CDs
I type it all out
I type it all out
I want everything
I want everything
But I aim to rest of the quiet.

We laid in the bed this morning
I never wanted it to end
You didn't really like the eggs whites
Sometimes I worry I like you more than you do me
But I check myself
And take note of all the possibilities
I ask you to reveal
I watch you reveal.

Your eyes perfectly matched all the blue
I see you as the seafoam
In my coming ocean.

I'm not trying to nail you down
Lock you down into something
You tell me you were a hopeless romantic
Need time to see yourself not in a duo
And I reside in my ocean
Knowing these all facts
These facts.

I steer my ship into the wide open
I worry about money and things
Leaning into the walls
Sampling solitude
We make plans
And wonder quietly
Where this is going
If anywhere.

I said last night into the darkness
Let's be best friends
You said yes already
That's where we at.

We looked into the mirror together
I admire us together
You admire me.

See you several days in a row
Gonna check my crush
Gonna put aside my crushes
I told you that you were my favorite
In your seafoam
But I aim to not think too much of it
I'm not trying to lock you down baby
But I wish you would

Want me to.

Maybe at some point.


You will.
