When I think about you
my mind goes quiet
a serene silence

It's hard to come up
with metaphors never seen before
how could any rhyme exceed your greatness
like how you exceeded my expectations?

Your name sings out the mouths of others
silver personality turned golden
face turns red, heart stolen

I wish your blue could meet my hazel
your Rabanne Phantom meet my Lancome

I'll write out poems about you
for the day you come back around
for the third summer
you can see how winter has longed for you too

It's blatant
you have me around because you're lonely
you make it so obvious
that it's because of the attention

I don't feed into it anymore
I'm not special to you
because if I was
you wouldn't blame me
for things
I did do
for things given to you
before you met me

Looking young for your age
more mature than what you seem
yet everyone mistakes you for being
naive
and immature
and patient
and too sweet
and stupid
and clumsy
and childish
and untouched by the dangers of the world

what did I do
what did I say
that makes people believe this "baby face"
lives that way?

If you sneeze
it means someone is thinking about you

To whoever gave me a cold,
that turned into a sneezing fit

I hope you're happy

I didn't need to check my phone to know who it was
and because of that,
it became my favorite ringtone.

I'll title this later
it's not as important
as letting you know you are loved.
There is someone, somewhere
who misses you
who quietly dreams to see you again
who is grateful for your company
who is willing to do anything to see your smile.

Just know you are loved
more than you think

Poetry is the gateway to my healing
as eyes are the window to the soul
