i’d rather stay awake with you
until 4 am and talk about
what you eat for breakfast every morning
your favorite season of the year
how old you were when you lost your first tooth
eventually our eyes wouldn’t be able to stay open
any longer and we’d fall asleep
mid-conversation in eachother’s arms
with the lamp still on in the corner of my room
and my window cracked open just enough to
hear the breeze shake the tree in the front yard

because an emotional connection is so much stronger
than a physical one
i don’t want to be your one-night stand
i want to be a piece of your heart
the reason you get up in the morning
that song that’s always stuck in your head
i want to be the sun in your sky
you sure are in mine

we spent hours talking last night,
and for the first time in a while, my smile was bright.

MY HEART WAS SCREAMING WHEN YOU SAID YOU LIKED THE BAND I SHOWED YOU.
THEY HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART TOO.

MAYBE ONE DAY WE COULD LISTEN TOGETHER
OR DROWN OUT THE MUSIC AND TALK FOREVER.

YOU LIVE FAR AWAY
WILL WE SEE EACH OTHER ONE DAY?

Pablo Neruda
Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.

Escribir, por ejemplo: 'La noche esta estrellada,
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.'

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.

Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella tambien me quiso.

En las noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos.
La bese tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.

Ella me quiso, a veces yo tambien la queria.
Como no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

Puedo escribir los versos mas tristes esta noche.
Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido.

Oir la noche inmensa, mas inmnesa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocio.

Que importa que mi amor no pudiera guadarla.
La noche esta estrellada y ella no esta conmigo.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca.
Mi corazon la busca, y ella no esta conmigo.

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos arboles.
Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuanto la quise.
Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oido.

De otro. Sera de otro. Como antes de mis besos.
Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.
Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido.

Porque en noches como esta la tuve entre mis brazos,
mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Aunque este sea el ultimo dolor que ella me causa,
y estos sean los ultimos versos que yo le escribo.

i’m scared.
i am scared to fall,
or to do anything at all.
we don’t know each other much,
but i do hope we’ll stay in touch.
somehow you already make me feel safe.
is that okay?
i don’t want to scare you away.
in fact, i want to know you,
do you want to know me too?
do you want to know all my goals?
or if i prefer hot or cold?
i have many opinions, agree or disagree?
i plan to get close, don't you see?
i want us to talk on facetime calls
and be able to talk to you when i'm feeling small.
if you don't want this, that's quite okay.
i'm glad to have known you, even if only for a day.

i'm whispering now,
i feel so quiet.
i do not want you to hear
my cries.
we were having such
a good time.
but
i'm in so much pain as
tears fall from my
eyes.
i wish someone would
hold me and silence my sobs,
but i have no one.
it's nobody's job.
no one sees me,
no one seems to care.
because i know if they cared,
they would be there.
"stop crying," i say,
"stupid girl, you are not even
trying."
s t o p
******* i n g
c r y i n g.
you should just stop,
nobody hears your call.
stop crying, stop breathing,
don't do anything at all.
you are not invincible,
just invisible.
no one could love someone like you,
no one could love you, that includes
yourself too.
my mind is racing .

I DO NOT WANT TO SCARE YOU AWAY
BECAUSE MY DEMONS ARE OUT
AND THEY WANT TO PLAY
OF COURSE I’LL JUST SMILE
I’LL TRY TO IGNORE IT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN
ONLY FOR A WHILE
I DO NOT WANT TO TELL YOU
WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY HEAD.
I WILL SIT HERE AND CRY,
ONLY UNTIL MY EYES ARE DRY.
FOR NOW I’LL LAY IN THE DARK,
HERE IN THIS LONELY BED.
IN AN HOUR OR SO,
IT WILL BE OKAY AGAIN.
THEY WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO GO.
RIGHT?

Ernest Hemingway
The only man I ever loved
Said good bye
And went away
He was killed in Picardy
On a sunny day.
