i want to write poems about you
how you make me happy
but i lack the creativity
the right things to say
and i'm certain that you wouldn't care
anyway

There's a space that needs to be filled
It's in between my fingers
And it gives me the chills

So here's the thing
You start school
You befriend a group of people
And you begin a friendship with them
And you think nothing of it.

Now, further along the line
You get into fights
With these friends
So you're left with only several people
And your friendship group grows smaller
And you think nothing of it.

After you get out of school
You enter the real world
You have one or two close friends
You go for a coffee
Or a meal
And you sip your boiling tea
And you think nothing of it.

Finally
You move away
You lose contact with these friends
You begin to wonder
Where did it all go?
And you sit back in your chair
And you think nothing of it.

Then comes the sudden realization
What did you do to keep your friends?
Did you arrange the coffee dates?
The cinema trip?
Did you give your best friend advice to get the girl he liked?
No, you didn't.
And you walk alone
And you think nothing of it.

You say you're nothing but imperfection
But I say,
Let me write you a list of all the flaws
you don't have.

You kissed my forehead
and I fell in love
But I just kept falling.

Perhaps there were flaws
I couldn't yet see.

Those bright eyes
Those rosy cheeks
Those smiles
But it's those lips
Telling me to kiss
here
                    here  
                                      and  *here
i think i have a crush.

I'm out of my mind
And I need a place to stay.
Could I enter yours?
I'll promise to keep all your secrets
Hidden away.

This place is unfamiliar,
Something I have never seen before.
Flashing images float around me
I hold onto them,
Knowingly,
That this is what it feels like for you.

I never payed attention to it before,
But every word you say,
Every action that you do,
Illustrates a perfect picture, in a powerful way.

Why have I been lingering outside of my mind?
Troubled thoughts, unforgiving images.
But these are tolerable.
It's time to escape your mind,
Now that I know
And start giving you the best that I can
Because I know,
And you know,
That I will never have this moment again.

I love you dear,
And that much is true.
Run away with me,
and we can disperse into the blue.
start appreciating what you have right in front of you, rather than taking it all for granted.
treat her the best that you possibly can.
