you've written yourself into my story,
many pages and chapters you have starred in.

i have done the same.
at least i hope i am a supporting character.
but you're a close book,
and it's hard to see how i fit into your story.

our story.

the chapter we're on right now,
where am i?

tell me our story.

i held the pen you've given me years ago,
but i lost it yesterday.

but i was given a new one,
by a teacher who knew how i felt.

it's not black,
but green ink.

i want to know what character i play in your story.
the childhood friend?
the lover?
that girl at school?

because what you are in my story isn't just a character that passes by.

so i hold a new pen,
and instead of a monochrome story,
i hope i bring color to your life.
like how you bring red to mine.

The wind howls hard in the air,
My hair brushes against my face,
Thoughts of yesteryear float in my mind,
A lost chance or perhaps an easier escape I convince myself.

Each step I take the mud sways with me,
We dance to the sound of gusts,
Neither wanting to give way both earnest in our trying,
Not today I shout aloud, maybe tomorrow you’ll trip me.

This journey we take is fraught with challenge,
Blown one way then the other,
Constantly seeking surer footing not wanting to fall,
Sometimes the easiest thing is to let go and let yourself collapse.

But I’m no quitter,
Neither are you,
Together we’ll keep plodding along,
Soon we’ll find a surer path again and the sun will shine down upon us.

When you hold me in your arms,
I just feel so good and calm.
the strings of affection just tightens 
Around us bringing me more close to you.

The sparks are felt instantly
Enhancing this feeling which is felt
Strongly in between you and me
Like our own sweet fantasy bubble

Loving you feels like the right thing
For which I am sent here to do
Being yours feels like the role
For which I am sent here to play

I want us to live in such a place where
Every evening we can go on a bicycle ride
I want to dance with you whole night
Moving the furniture aside

I want your love, just not the kisses.
I want your warmth, just not the hugs.
I want our souls to be one
And just not the bodies, to be together.

'Infinite Love' I don't know about
'The Forever Thing' I don't care to know
Just a think I know, just one think care about
I wanna be with you till my last breath

I burn brighter
Just like you
As we burn away

Not another word-
We told each other "one day".
We knew what we meant.
