It was you
From the first time I saw you
It was you
From the first time you kissed me
It was you
From the first time you held me
It was you
When I looked into your eyes
When I held your hand
When I traced your lips
It was always you
Even when life seemed uncertain
Even when my world was crashing down
For me,
It was always you
Even when we ended
I tried to ignore it
But it was still you
When I move...
When I say
Be safe
What I mean is
Please wear your seatbelt
And drive the speed limit
Remember to look both ways
Before crossing the street
Bundle up in a scarf and coat
When it’s cold outside
Remember to drink water
Staying hydrated every day
Make sure you take a snack along
Before heading out of the house
Get enough sleep each night
You deserve more rest
Keep a bottle of Advil in your car
Don’t ...
I’ve gotten so tired
Of reminding you
To remember me.
I want you
To want to
Tell me about your day
The mundane moments
And the exciting ones.
I want you
To want to
Message me first
Ask me more than just
How my day has gone.
I want you
To want to
Call me immediately
When something big happens
Or message me
When you have a weird dream.
All I seem to do
Is try and fail
To grab
Your attention.
But if...
The mere thought of of you
Can put me in a chokehold
It can take me down easy
1, 2, 3.
I don’t even bother
Putting up a fight
I let it overtake me
I’m down for the count
And yes it hurts
It’s a beating every time
But I live for the pain
So I’ll still get in that ring
With my thoughts of you
And let them take me out...
I’m not waiting
For a knight in shining armor.
I saved myself a long time ago.
I do not need someone to “complete me”.
I am whole alone.
But sometimes
I just want
A weirdo who will go on adventures with me
Someone who will twirl me around the kitchen
Who will run the mundane errands with me
And kiss me passionately
When I least expect them to
Someone who can gaze deep into my eyes
Before making ...
Stop pretending
I can’t deny it anymore
It would be obvious to
Anyone
With an ounce of common sense
That I am not important to you
Why do I insist
On imagining that I am
I think about you when I’m awake
And I dream of you while I sleep
Every notification
My heart still cries out
“It might be him this time!”
But inevitably when I look
It hardly ever is.
We used to talk
All day long
About anything
...
I can feel you
When the clock says 11:11
And I make a wish
I can feel you
When I’m speeding over railroad tracks
And my car flies off the ground
I can feel you
When I’m listening to a powerful song
And the goosebumps race all down my arms
I can feel you
When my cat is purring on my stomach
And she decides to knead biscuits on my chest
I can feel you
When I take a deep breath
And let a guided medit...
Sometimes I think
About the things I wish
I’d already achieved
Having a house
Renting or owning
I was never picky
But I know that’s a reality
That will never come
Not in our economy.
Having a successful career
Or at least doing a job I liked
But I have never experienced either
Working to simply get by
Never anything to be passionate about.
Having a bank account full of savings
Thousands on retaine...
I have such love for you
It’s almost overwhelming at points
I care so much for you
The feeling is all consuming
I feel such safety with you
The relief is staggering
Every piece of me
Longs for every bit of you
Sometimes I feel so deeply for you
I think my heart is going to burst
All of these feelings
I don’t know what to do with
Because I know
You don’t feel anywhere near the same...
Sometimes my soul aches for you
My entire being feels like it’s breaking
Into a million pieces
The fragments, trying to make their way to you
I remember the past
And crave what we used to feel
You set my soul on fire
Totally engulfed by you
Your mere presence overwhelmed my senses
I surrendered to you
Fully
Completely
Entirely
I had never been so free
And yet so attached
Some days I believe I’d dr...
