I know death calls me so many times, like I owe it too many favours But I won’t answer that call – until much, much later And they might rush you to live your life; but child Don’t you know Death waits for you, with great patience? And all these girls on my feed with curves, all start to feel _So shapeless!_ Love nowadays is so baseless – when you place your faith On beauty; do you know that one day it will all betray you? But when we drift, do our tears dry under the sun of Our daydreams – In place of all our streams; your teeth could still sink in my skin But even those that had a bite of love; are still searching for their Own piece. I miss the sleep of our daydreams when we had the few times To dream, and not going to look for love in sheets – When love was paved on the streets; not these things That belong to THE STREETS! Where we could be dancing in the waves of the sea; Surfing all of your best ideas, when kids dared to dream Never too afraid to swim, when we had each other to pick Us up, whenever we start to sink.                                                 _when we were kids._

when we were kids
I cling onto your comfort by a thread. I know I’m too old for this. But I don’t think I can do this without you. I want you to hold me in your arms and tell me, _"everything will be alright."_ I want everything to be alright. I want to be a kid again. I’m going to miss you.

Childhood
We sat Me and him A table between us Its funny how we weren't Even next to one another yet I felt closer than I ever Had before We shared A million memories Childhood's present and past Danced vividly, alive in his and my Nostalgically saturated eyes I thoughtlessly giggled Carelessly happy He spoke Out words the Colour of a beautiful rainbow I'd never saw in him before He smiled and for the First time in years I felt safe.

Nostalgia
I was asked how To forget a person you know Down their deepest core Up to every small gesture, From those lethal touch To those addicting smooch; I answered, you can't You may press delete But your mind will always Find ways, Backing up deleted memories.

Blue pencil
Somewhere, between fixing broken hearts, chasing farfetched dreams, playing different parts and burdened by unshed tears, I lost the best years of my life.

Recollections of a Baseball Coach

Nostalgia fills my bones,when i past by old park benches. I can feel your breath, on my neck when the air blows Nights feel empty, and the days look dark, When i walk into a coffee shop, I can feel the ghost of you hand entwined with mine. At nights i try and picture what it would be like with you next to me, but you are a memory, a ghost, you never existed. I am trying to forget, that you were never here, but that’s like trying to forget how to breathe. The sun has burnt up, everything is cold, i have frozen to death.
