I wish I could forget about the scent of coconut pear But you’re engrained in my thoughts whenever I touch my lips I wish I could forget about strolls we took on lukewarm days Standing hip by hip
I wish I could rid you of my mind when I think about what it means to feel or be in a dip Or the way you spoke so passionately Like it were the last thing to escape from your mouth I wish I could forget about the way you drank guineas like it were smoother than my heart of steel Or how you couldn’t keep your bun from being wild like the way you always feel
I hate that I think about you every other day if not every time I fall asleep I hate that I can’t help but to think of why sunflowers are my favourite every time one passes me by I hate that I didn’t kiss you when I came to see you & told me I could stay, I just walked away I hate that I know I’ll never have you the same That’s no bad thing
But I hate the most that it took me so long to find this wrenching feeling because we made love feel folly We were young We had reason I wish we both got to experience us thrive I’m so proud of myself & lately I don’t need much reason I’m so much of the same & so much not I’d like to meet again, get to know the knew plot
Maybe somewhere in the mountains If not, we’ll meet again through the stars I wish I could forget so many things No words are worth the choking to try express what I miss of you, so much I’ll just say goodbye for now Be content, that’s all.
My longest or second longest poem to date, too much?
