It's raining in your city.
I want to ask if you have an umbrella,
but I don't.
Because I am afraid that you say no,
and I can't do anything about it
just like I say I love you,
but I can't give you the life you want.

Surrender

I hope the grey of the season calls a blanket of comfort to fall around you,
as the mute of the sun encourages our shadows to surrender.

I’m sleeping in
just call me out
it’s the simplest kind of comfort
I do it for me
there’s a softness and care
my, that got so wholesome

I know, I should embrace hardship
adversity builds resilience
it’s darkness that reveals the stars
that last one sounds too good to be original
but I’m not researching it
haven’t you been reading?

I’m sleeping in fugaciously
and metaphorically.
If you’re in the water
it’s good to swim
otherwise
you could be writing.

Who?

He’s the kind of guy you meet once
And tell your kids about
He’s cowboy boots covered in red clay dust
And he’s an extra dry martini on a rooftop bar
He’s the kind of guy you make wishes for on eyelashes
And dandelions
He’s the moment an Aspen tree’s leaves turn yellow
And the feeling you get when you see fireworks
He’s getting into a hot tub while it’s snowing
And the smell of a vanilla candle
He’s the kind of guy you think about when watching rom coms
He’s a molasses cookie
And antique red leather
He’s the kind of guy whose laugh you never forget
And he’s seeing the ocean for the first time
He’s the kind of guy you stay up until sunrise talking to
And imagine while reading books
He’s so beautiful
And I wonder when he’ll think so too

The quiet has never been louder booming around me in a cacophony of every way the words used to be safe here

The stats

It’s been almost a year since we broke up
331 days since you told me you couldn’t love me anymore
47 weeks
7,944 hours
476,640 minutes
28,598,400 seconds
But 59 days since we last texted
47 days since I finally took off your bracelet
7 days since I last updated your playlist
An uncountable amount of days ended in tears
So so many sleepless nights
An unthinkable amount of self degrading thoughts

But now I’m across the world
A place you’d never be with me
I woke up today and you weren’t the first thing on my mind
Songs remind me of other people now
I have someone else to tell all my thoughts to

You’ll never be entirely gone
And I wouldn’t want you to be
But I can finally live without hoping you’re watching
