Romantics
I wonder if you think about me as much as I think about you
If you lay awake staring at the ceiling at three am
thinking about kisses in the corners of parties
we didn’t want to go to
Walking the long way home as if we don’t feel the cold
dizzy and drunk under street lights and stars
lost somewhere in the city arm in arm
The sound of your voice on the back of my neck
on lazy Sundays when we have no reason to leave the bed
I wonder if any of this would make sense to you
If you romanticise us in the same way I do

Talk
I want to tell you about my morning coffee,
the article I read last week,
and all the ways I got my heart broken when I was seventeen
I want to hear about the nights you barely remember,
about the days that feel like too much,
and everything in between

Venting
You were my entire night sky
Now I drive home in the dark without looking up
The songs that reminded me of you still play on the radio
But I don't think of that summer in the city when I hear them anymore
I fell in love again
And I want to tell you I hate it because it's not the same
It never could be
Seasons change and so did we
I'm better now in some ways but without you feels worse
And I wonder if you feel the same

Girls
I talk about you to the girls like we're behind the music block
inhaling cigarette smoke
dreading double maths
As if love is all new
and it's the 00s
I talk about you in a way that makes me sick
because these days I'm far from young
and this is a story I've already told
An ending that I already know

Components
I'm just a shell
Made up of components that sound pleasing to the ears
Sweet words scribbled on napkins in cafes
Fleeting memories in photographs hidden away
Small enough to keep in your back pocket
Small enough to disappear
Never one to stick around
No reason to stay

Habitual
Being in love with you feels habitual
Like living with a ghost
Kisses on the corner of Blue Boar Street
Walks in comfortable silence when we both should have just gone home
Coffee breaks to talk about philosophy
Old rituals like old friends
It feels lived in and familiar
In the best and worst way
It feels like I should have learnt from every past mistake I've ever made

Unsettled
I feel like crawling out of my skin
in this unseasonably warm weather
summer night hazes in mid-October
t-shirts and aircon
and everything else that feels wrong
for where we should be
and how far this year’s gone
