Your shoes are getting shabby
over time and the story that has been spun
Do you still remember the drawing paper and brush?
I painted the colors that were dark at the time
Then we drew together
In flowing, abstract strokes
Ahh, I remember so well
The field across from our classroom
15 years old in the drizzle
The first piece of cake you took from my hand
And a book that made us dizzy
We were still so young
With hearts clean and untainted by love
Still pure in the grip of friendship
Will you remember it well?
Two young people now fragile in adulthood
And if I reach out
To just be friends again
At least we won't fall into despair
Couldn't have dreamt this,
His tender first kiss,
Nibbled his lips,
Kissed my fingertips,
Kissed molasses hair,
Love his kissing flair,
Kissed a thousand times,
His mouth just rhymes,
Our attraction,
Love in action,
Lip sync bliss,
Love his kiss,
Kissing sublime,
Withstood all time.......
You were T

When reality was unmoored and adrift
When life’s harshest winds ripped a rift
When ominous clouds loomed overhead
When anger leashed gloom tinged red
You were a ( ( (( VOICE )) ) ) of reason
When kindness and healing was sparse
When probable friendships were a farce
You gave me hope, you kept me grounded
When rebound of love’s alarms sounded
You are a J
E W E
L of the sea
A whirling tsunami washed you ashore
A precious rock, I’d come to adore
Like colorful sea glass, I’m eased by you
A gem of a gift gallant and true
A treasured heart about to unfurl
I’m destined to be your pearl of a girl
I miss you im sorry
Life is weird without your here
I want you so bad
Please dont go away
How can i do it without you
Ill be broken
Come back
I dont want to be alone
I love you
Love me back
Please
But you left me broken
And I cant do it with a broken heart
The worst part is
I fear I still love you
Even though I cant have you
I will always love you forever and always
I hope you know that
Even if we are young
Even if you are in love
Even if it wasnt me
Even if im not pretty
And even if you're not sorry
For what its worth
I love you so
With all my heart
I wont let go
Ill hold onto you
Forever and always
Till forever falls apart
I baked a whole tray—
not for me.
I’ve never liked brownies,
too sweet on tongue,
too soft for teeth…
But you once said
you'd like to try mine.
They cracked as they left the oven.
I bit, too soon—
blistered my tongue
on sugar too young to settle.
If only you were here to taste it…
you’d know what I meant.
They’re best straight from the pan—
burning, messy,
sweet enough to sting.
But the moment passed,
and now they’ve gone rigid—
I sit with the tray
untouched but for one corner.
My eyes drift out to the setting sun—
The warmth dies...
The surface hardens...
for the baked and the baker.
They say They say opposites attract,
I suppose they were right to think that especially for us.
For i was naive
and you wanted to deceive
I was as pure as the driven snow
And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe.
Opposites attract.
You secretly wanted to attack,
I just wanted you to love me back.
You made me think lust was love all because you were under an act. Opposites attract.
I wanted you on your worst days,
you wanted me at your place for the worst ways.
Opposites attract.
I guess that’s why we aren’t attracted to each other anymore. Because when I look at my actions towards others i see yours and you made me like that.
It's love or like,
I am confused!
The feelings are weird
And I am amused!
Sometimes,I don't even
want to accept
While sometimes I want to
scream it all out
Sometimes I want to keep it hidden
And Sometimes I want to shout it loud!
In the night,when the skies are dark
You are like a star shining with spark
You are like the evening's cold breeze,
Sometimes you lit up my heart
and sometimes you make it freeze
You are more than anything
that words could ever describe
I wonder what should I call you,
A dream,a perfection or just A Person I Like!!
I want to rewind and not change,
Stay and hold on to the days when your name felt like home.
When our conversations were not careful,
When love wasn't something to be attenuated,
But something that simply was.
I'm surviving the silence you left behind,
Trying to fill the gaps with memories,
Tricking myself, saying time can walk backward,
Can undo the unraveling, and can stitch ourselves whole again.
This is not war but absence,
Not betrayal but distance,
Not anger but the quiet ache of being left behind.
I don't know where to place this longing,
The pain to return to the place that no longer exists.
But if love was once real, does it still echo?
And if I reach for you, will I only find empty air?
We don't speak the same tongue,
but the air between us hums
with understanding.
It's in the way our eyes meet,
the way silence bends
to the shape of each other's heartbeats.
The words we don't say
fill the space between us,
more certain than any language.
More lasting than syllables
that can be misheard or forgotten.
We understand each other,
not in the way the world teaches us
but in the quiet truth of touch.
The unspoken rhythm
that flows between souls
without need for translation.
You don't need to say it for me to feel it -
your hand on mine
is a sentence that needs no punctuation.
The tilt of your head,
the slight shift of your breath
speaks in a way no words ever could.
A language older than any we've learned.
And maybe that's all that matters,
the knowing without speaking.
The way our hearts meet
in a place deeper than language
where every unspoken word
is already understood.
They say,
“Distance makes the heart
grow fonder.”
And although
For me this quote is true.
It never was for you.
Distance has made my heart
Yearn for you,
More tenderly
Then I normally would.
I saw you everyday,
With this unrequited feeling
That could be seen as sadness.
But I enjoyed seeing your
Natural self
Without me.
Distance may make you forget me,
Or the memories captured.
But I see the life you're living,
Praying distance is making
Your heart grow fonder.
More fond than we ever were.
More fond than I am,
Which almost seems impossible,
Untrue.
My soul tied a rope
Around your name
And chained it to my heart.
No matter the miles i travel,
The steps i take,
Whether i’m ahead
Or behind you.
Distance makes my heart grow fonder.
I wish I could say the same about yours.
Good Morning, love
I miss you. How are you feeling?
Does your world look bright?
I caught myself thinking about you,
and I can’t wait to hold you tight.
Good Morning, love
Can I get you some tea?
It will ease the anxiety rushing through your veins,
slow the screams of sirens,
and calm the reckless train.
Good Morning, love
Can I hold you for a minute?
Wrap you in love where time stands still,
while the world keeps spinning
and people keep dreaming.
Good Morning, love
I am here to listen, I’m here to serve.
Your beating heart, your existence,
is my air, my need to breathe.
Without your joy, my world feels incomplete.
Good Morning, love
[[I wrote this as a love letter. It was one sitting, one draft]]
I couldn't say it back,
that time you said: 'I like you'.
Not because i don't,
but because i do.
I listened to your sweet words,
they made me happy but also afraid.
How on earth can this be real,
When we just had our third date?!
I want to dive into the unknown,
jump off that cliff.
Take that risk together,
give you all that i can give.
But for me to jump,
I need to see where I'll land.
But it's too deep and dark,
So will you jump too and hold my hand?
We can use a parachute,
So we fall slow and steady.
Let's keep each other safe,
and jump on three, ready?
One: come a little closer
Two: Look at me how you often do
Three: It's time for me to say
I really like you too.
Profound
Beautiful eyes!
Charming, pleasant, shining
Heart mesmerize seductive style.
Adore
In the quiet of the night, when the stars are shining bright,
I feel a love so deep, it fills my heart with light.
You make my world feel right, and I don’t want you to go,
With you beside me, I feel happiness I’ve never known.
Your laugh is my favorite song, it makes me feel so free,
Every moment with you is where I want to be.
Please stay close and never leave, for without you, I would grieve,
In your love, I’ve found my place, where my heart can truly breathe.
His lanky arms around her waist,
Grey orbs focuses its attention on her
The corners of his lips tilts just slightly upwards
She notices his legs are shaking
His hair sitting still,not messily
“My person” she thought...walking away
Remembering the speech of her womb sharer,
“Everyone has his person”
She sat on the cold surface of the counter top
With the whistling of the kettle in the corner
Arms around her knees in attempt to comfort herself,
She thinks
“What type of love exists here?”
She was quite cynical about it
Rebuking all pronouncements of love
Confusion and dislike reigned in her head
She felt lost.
Determined to find this “person”
Turning her neck slightly,
Her orbs come in contact with his
Flashbacks and thoughts flow in
She would miss him in her spare time.
