#inbetweens
The way it started Was nothing Short of A boring Prologue Of a ****** Novel… But it was The in-betweens That makes The story Count, The stolen glances, Shy smiles And voiceless Affections… The things that Often go Unwritten But perhaps the Most vivid Memories We keep… The silent whispers Of hope and unrequited Love… The hidden lines Between what Has been written Down. It is the in-betweens That made Me want to Tell our Story, Not the lackluster Beginnings- Definitely not The ending- It has its own charms, But I’d rather Not relive The feelings I’ve killed and Buried deeper Than six feet. But as it is, We won’t have the In-betweens Without a Beginning… So let me, Let me tell How it started- From how I remember Them, how I saw Things from my own eyes. And I’ll let you Tell yours Afterwards.. Should you ever Want to Reminisce what Has been- I’ll just leave this here For you.

Foreword
I like the time it takes to get somewhere. I like the moment in the end, before the song switches. I like the way eyes search before they land on them. I like the discussions on the night before we leave the town. I like the words in my mind before they flow out like this. I like the scent of the Earth between a downpour and daylight. I like the moment of silence before everyone bursts out laughing. I like the way sky looks after the sun sets and before the moon appears. I like the second after saying bye when no one has moved yet. I like the moment before a secret is shared, the flutter before a confession. I like the seconds before a candid photo, when everyone's still busy being themselves. I like the space between apology and forgiveness, when the world feels softer somehow. I like the in-betweens - the not-yet and the almost, they never stay for long, but feel like home; they remind me that life doesn't rush.

I Like the In-Betweens
. sun shines sooo brightly but when those freezing rains come waiting feels endless... ❤️🩹 ❤️🩹 ❤️🩹 I do a lot of blabbing & I sent this haiku to someone along with a song and a message, and, of COURSE, I was going to just remove the message, but then thought, meh, why not leave it in, though the very idea of people hearing me speak is rather terrifying!! But ceasing to wrestle my demons, and cuddling with them instead I've learned can be most beneficial for growing in life, so AWAYY I go!!! If you want to skip my blathering, the song is at 4:20 (and, no I didn't plan it that way, but 4:20 works just fine, haha) 🖤💛❤️🤍🖤💛❤️🤍🖤💛❤️🤍 Cover of "The Waiting" (T.
