i want to write about being in love
the feeling in my stomach is
disshelveling

hope he doesn't hear this
but hope that he leans in
close enough for me to see his dreams and

hope that im up in them

things are tough
but im gonna get through it

the money is tight
but im still gonna laugh

things are hard
but im still going to wish the best for everyone else

i know its hard
but we are going to make it

i love you,
its ok

surrounded by the broken egg shells
surrounded by spilled milk
the cottage cheese is clumpy as it runs down the freezer door

but im reaching anyway
because my failures surround me
but this noosa yogurt is top shelf

im working hard
but it seems like something is working harder
to keep me going and
to
keep
my
head
above this
water

thank you whoever you are

staying in one place can make you complacent
for greener days and brighter grass

but either way i mix up my words
and found that

an old place can be just as good as a new place
but there is nothing like the city

i realize now
i miss sitting in your car
i miss staying up all night
i miss laying in your arms
i miss hearing your voice
i miss the late nights
i miss the way you're there for me
i miss the way you understand me
i miss you

you're there and im here
but

i love you

there is the rush
there is the go
there is the red hand stopping you
but everyone keeps going

there is the very tall buildings
there is something at every corner
there is a completely new world
but does it compare to the one you had before?

are there endless possibilities or are there endless rejections?
i think there is room for both

because when you turn on that one song
the city is at your hands
and you can do
everything
