I took a walk tonight
It’s 31 degrees outside
I just needed to clear my head
To hit a reset
Now I’m just awake in bed
And my nose is cold
But at least my tears have dried up

A warm August Night
A 2011 Chevy Cruze
A car radio playing Get You by Daniel Caesar
A faint green light
The only thing lighting up her face
Long blonde hair just above her waist
A beautiful girl with a clear and solid voice
A nervous boy with shaky hands and the voice to match
One last hug before they part ways
One last exchange
A last desperate kiss with him wishing he could make it last forever
Clinging to her hands until they finally release
Longing is the last taste in his mouth
The words please don't leave me getting stuck in his throat
Left to watch the sun walk away, a final glance before a silent goodbye
A girl gone before he could even understand her
A boy left with a long drive home
to wonder if she was ever even real or she just existed in his mind
Saudade: a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return.

Meet me in Miami
For some sun and some candy
Where I was before there was no sunshine
I found the light in your smile

Dear Mama,
I'm sorry to let you down
I'm sorry I don't talk much at home
It's hard for me to find the words sometimes
I miss you everyday being so far away from you
I miss the weight of your voice covering me like a warm blanket
Or the comfort of your cold hands against my face
I know I don't say it often but I love you
To the moon and back
Later Mama

I wanna kiss your ex’s name out of your mouth
Trace the lines of sunlight wrapping around your body in the mornings
I find pieces of your smile in the sky and your laugh in raindrops against my face
If I could bottle your voice and get drunk off of it every night I would
You’re a sunrise in a world that doesn’t know light
And a pulse to a heart that needs life

Attempting to break from normalcy
Learning there is much more for me to see
The process may hurt
But there is no progress without work
Trying to break my shell

Patience. Patience. Patience.
All my life I've been told to be patient.
Well maybe it's time to go make it happen.
