there’s not much to say;
i wish i could hold you close and dear
but at arm’s length, you are far beyond reach
i cannot feel your breath against my neck
i cannot feel your hands around my waist
yet we crave every inch of touch
we crave for each other’s taste

it’s such a tragedy to fall into
a love so fragile and secure
but is it love, lust or loneliness?
or are we merely avoiding the question?
are we drowning,
just for the sake of making one another feel whole?
do these hands and smiles revolve around misguided truths?
are your words cloaked in lies or are mine disputed moves?

i guess we will never know

tell me again
how my beauty
compares to that
of a delicate flower
blossoming in the
hot summer sun

and how you love
all my quirks and
imperfections
because without them
I'd be exactly like
anyone else
.
.
.
tell me again
of all your plans
you have for us
to traverse the
globe with nothing
but each other
to keep us company

and how nothing
could ever get in
between us simply
because you would
never allow it and
that you would do
anything to keep
us together
.
.
.
tell me again
because if you don't
I will forget the love
you've showed me
and its place will
only be the fear
of losing you
.
.
.

it's not going to make sense
none of it will make sense
until you meet the right person
then every star will align
and if you didn't have any stars in your sky
they will put them there to shine bright
life gets a light shown into it
when the right person crosses your path
even if its just for a minute
there's something tragic
when someone makes you feel everything
then they leave
and there's nothing left to be felt
but there's the traces of stardust
still brushed along your skin
where they touched you
and that right there, will give you the world
and the strength
to keep going along everyday
just as if they didn't exist
