Big / Loud

Never small talk, always big. You aren’t loud, but your presence is. Side by side and always in sync. Everyone swears you were made for me.

Word on the Streets

I felt it today, the distance I was so furious to be creating. It was dull and half-hearted, likely to leave bruises but no wound to bleed out of. I hoped it would be at least enough to make people wonder. That’s always been a toxic trait of mine, hasn’t it? People wonder, people talk,…

only gets better

Just like the days pass in a blur, our time together turns to years. Once I cracked open to let you in, it’s been magic without worries or fears. Nobody gets me the way that you get me. All the jokes and the butterflies that you give me. There’s a time coming up when we’ll…

Won’t Say The Word

You are both a mirror and a light, and I don’t think you’ve ever known how bright that makes you shine. You’re a glow in an otherwise dreary string of days. You’re a constant flicker of kindness in the thick of the storms. You are all your own and you’ve never needed me, but lord…

Years From Now

When this dance of ours is years old and I finally feel comfortable in my skin, am I still going to have a gut full of butterflies? Next season when we venture somewhere new, am I still going to feel as if you should’ve been the one I’m calling home? Someday when I find the…

Long Weekend

Wonder about me a time or two, would you?

Extra

An hour, maybe two. Barely a blip for busy lives. And yet, that little slice -it’s all that on my mind. I’ll try to keep it subtle, but it’s always felt magnetic. We’ll draw in close, fit just right, and pretend it’s not poetic. So many are used to to the dynamic, but not the…

Like Usual

We laughed together today, hard. I struggled with eye contact like usual, but you stayed gentle and patient. Like usual. I thought about all the days we never say hello. All the nights that fall without goodbye. All the ways I take this time for granted. I was almost sick to my stomach. In another…

If I could

I would take you and have you and know you and hold you and suck you and fuck you and god damn it, I’d love you.
