I wonder if there are so little stars in the night sky,
Because they decided to live inside your shining eyes.

The clicking of shoes
echoing  down the hall,
every clatter bursting into little
sparks
throwing ashes every way
and pushing away all that care for her.

Here in this day
I can feel the way your breath hitches
on every message
I can see your eyes smile with joy
and the way your mouth curls up
into that smile no one really knows.
The things I live for-

i hope the next time you eat chocolate covered strawberries
you think of me
the way we'd share the taste of the bittersweet chocolate and the almost saccharine taste of fresh fruit between our lips
on those cold october nights

i hope the next time you listen to the crickets chirp at night
you think of how we used to snuggle up in bed late at night
attentive to nothing but the other's heartbeat and the insects outside play their songs for hours

i hope the next time you see those plaid patterns
you think of how i'd wrap myself all up in your flannels just to keep warm- the soft, woven fabrics brushing against my face

i just hope you don't forget about me the next time you kiss her

I cant tell you the amount of times
Ive cried for you and drowned
in my tears and regrets

I cant tell you the amount of times
Ive dreamt of you and woken up
missing you more than I ever have

I cant tell you the amount of times
Ive looked for you at the bottom of a bottle just to realize I lost you forever
