I am the chorus..

You are the verse.

He's the bridge.

She's the intro.

We fit better...

**Together..

You were telling me you loved me and I didn't know what you meant. Am I the only one who feels this way?

They say that poems
are made to touch
the places your
hands can't reach
and well i guess that
makes your smile a
poem

Surround yourself with uplifting people
Those who bring out the best in you
Be around the ones with a positive vibe
Whom will guide you to the light
Continue on with your progress
Relieve yourself from stress
Keep your mind on great thoughts
Always give it your very best

I’m writing a letter to you.
It’s in a maze. Like me.
Surely you’ve seen the Perseids.
Above the sea.
It’s the same with the words,
which I’m writing or have written.
I don’t remember.
And they are always another.
Not those ones which I’d like to say.
Or I’ve said?
I don’t remember.
I’ve abandoned the thought
like a traveler who is walking
to a harbor.
The ships depart there.
Further and further.
Further …
May I see you,
how you’re walking along the little cobble
street,
which I haven’t passed in,
to meet you and to tell you
the love is one.
I don’t remember if I said this to you.
In fact, I don’t know if it’s where
one should pass through to somewhere.
I don’t know if you’ve seen
The Perseids and the sea.
I don’t remember.
If I write anything else
but one –
one.
I don’t remember.

The original:

Писмо

Пиша ти писмо.
То е объркано. Като мен.
Сигурно си виждала Персеидите.
Над морето.
Така е и с думите,
които ти пиша или съм писал.
Не помня.
И все са други.
Не тези, които бих искал да кажа.
Или съм казал?
Не помня.
Изоставил съм мисълта
като пътник, който върви
към пристанище.
Корабите от там тръгват.
Все по-далече.
По-далече…
Дано да те виждам,
как вървиш по-малките калдъръмени улички,
по които не съм минавал,
за да те срещна и да ти кажа,
че любовта е една.
Не помня, дали ти го казах.
Всъщност, не знам дали от там
се минава, за някъде.
Не знам, дали си виждала
Персеидите и морето.
Не помня.
Пиша ли нещо друго,
освен едно -
една.
Не помня.

My jaw is hurting from all this smiling...while he... when he...then we...

I'm lonely are you
I'm lost and sad
my love unrequited but true
I stare I pray
I hope for the day
You'll be mine
And the troubles slip away
But for now all I can do
Looking up at the sky whether dark or blue
thinking and wishing
If only you were lonely too

the golden month of summer
we're recovered from the semester
we spent making fun of each other
i know this because of the way
you are holding my hand
in this moment, i am begging
for someone to ask what love is
so i can tell them something like
"you know when you hold onto
something for too long and your
palms get a little sweaty and so
you let go of whatever it is?
i feel like that right now, but
it's more like his hand is
sweaty but i'm grabbing tighter
like a plead from a door frame
begging for the slamming to stop
yeah, my palm is sweaty but
i cannot let go.

2 years later, here i am
my hands are clenching themselves
into fists, my palms are sweating
but i've developed this habit of
not letting go of anything
and i miss you.
