like the thin air,
you slipped
between my fingertips

i tried to hold
on to you,
us, and
what we shared
together

i wanted it to
stay in tact
but there was no
use

it was all
slipping away,
i could feel
the distance
between me and you

i had to let go
of what i wanted
you to be

i was living in
a dream
and it was time
to face reality.

Half-blind for  came to your door.

Sleep, accomplished and the arbor,

There are all these secrets
shared among full rooms
and we are in one of them
quietly awaiting our own hearts.
You were young when I met you.
Full of breath
but now age comes fast
and the air in your lungs is less than half.
I loved you most in the morning
when the sun was rising and new
but I needed you more in the darkness
when all I knew I loved
faded with the time of day.

Here we are in the middle of it all.
And you lean into my heart
to whisper in my ear
"I love you most, my dear."

Oh God! I really just need to sleep
The situation is too much, too pink
How on earth can someone keep so calm
When the truth is being dropped like a bomb?

I need to slow down, I need to think
But I’m afraid if I do, I’ll mistake a blink for a wink
I don’t want to be jealous of every girl I see
When he’s more interested in them, how can I not be?

Here’s the thing, we started off friends
We had a fling, now there are loose ends
I’m confused and left on read
But I guess there are things better left unsaid

He gives me hope and leads me on
I hear us in every song
How do I stop my heart from breaking?
My feelings are what I’ve been faking

But wait there’s more! Another girl (named L)
Someone he’s cried over and I’ve warned him about
He said they were over, I thought they were through
I should have known I was being lied to

He’ll pretend it’s not happening and whisk it away
He has forgotten that trust works both ways
He takes from our friendship but he never gives
Oh, how he fibs, how he fibs, how he fibs.

This isn’t the movies, I won’t get the guy
And I'll just be a friend no matter how hard I try

You are not like
a volcano
with its
liquid rock
running down
full of urgency
No you are
more like
the sky
when
it
thunders
I love me some thunder...love should make some noise.

For now it’s torture
But one day I’ll get to say
You were worth the wait

aren’t you tired of looking for love?
aren’t you tired of waiting for it?
the love like a movie like a song like a story like a dream like a poem?
aren't you tired?
isn’t your hope weary?
and, don’t you see?
love has always been here,
the love you crave,
the love like a movie like a song like a story like a dream like a poem
love like a river like a waterfall like an ocean
love like this morning like this breath like this moment?

My soulmate died


Before we ever met


That's why I feel like this

i know i probably scared you,
or annoyed you,
or simply bored you.
i never wanted to,
it was the last thing i wanted to do.

i’m sorry.
