i always tell
myself to take
a structured
approach to this
writing business
but how do you
structure and
organize ideas that
are scattered about
your mind with one
common relation:

you.
you are that
common idea,
the thing that keeps
my fingers sweeping
across the keyboard,
pressing all the keys
that'll make the beautiful
words pour out, but they're
only as beautiful as you are;

you are so beautiful
to me, there is not
a doubt in my mind
that you are the most
gorgeous ******* the
Earth, which is why,
when you fall asleep
with me on the phone,
I listen to you breathe
and sleep for a few seconds
before saying goodbye.

now at eleven forty
i listen to lana del rey
in my bedroom, diet
mountain dew, and
the song has no relevance
to you, but it reminds me
of how i feel about you.
do you think we'll be
in love forever?
