There is a boy in my life
that reminds me of how it feels
to be hopeful

Emerald eyes and freckles on his cheeks
I yearn to trace like constellations
find the Big Dipper amongst his cheekbones
each time I look at him
I can wish upon shooting stars
—my very own Astraeus

His laughter feels like a March breeze
the first bloom of flowers
and sunshine on bare shoulders
he puts Mother Nature to shame
the embodiment of spring
unaware of the beauty he holds
inside of him

When he touches me flowers grow
from the darkest corners of my mind
my ribs sprout daisies
tulips grow in my lungs
and with every breath I take
gardens bloom

My sunshine boy I want to show you
just how important you are—
without you there would be no spring
and the world would forget
how healing it is
to feel the grass beneath their feet
after months of being trapped
inside their minds

Kisses for you
for lunch and
for dinner-
for now
'til eternity.

I love these road where our house connect.

My fair lady,
when you are ready
to fly to the moon,
I promise
to never let you
out of my
orbit.

I love you so much
that I would share my toilet
paper with you, babe

10:50 PM
12/3/20

Hey you, it has been
Awhile but my heart still
beats only for you

12:40 PM
11/3/20

I just want to be
enough but not too much all
at once, just for you

4:40 PM
11/3/20

I lay my head
into your chest
and your heart skips a beat.
I always hum along,
for it is my favorite
song.

I want to kiss you
My lips quiver when I look at you
My heart screams, it wants more of you
It wants to hold and cradle its own

I wanted to kiss you
But you looked at me with an air of logic
and not of love
And the two are like oil and water
Medicine and wine
Forgiveness and the lack thereof

I waited to kiss you
I never did
That year flew away from me
Our time together
Stifled by the irreversible wind
Of neverending past lives
and loves

But still,
I wish I had kissed you
