lucky clover

It's not my fault that you didn't pay attention long enough to see me or even consider that I had value before I became conventionally pretty.

You trod on the grass and kicked the seedlings and now you don't get to come back around and appreciate the flowers.

05.07.21 // Monthly spread - July ☼

That was a lie

I just realised that you'd never love me back

That way, and I

Grew instead to appreciate what we have -

Our friendship, a shared life

But all I see is those blue-green eyes

I'd have known anywhere

And I guess we have changed

You're taller and your voice is lower

But when you nudge my shoulder

It's like we never got older at all

And it hits me like a truck

Just how much I missed you

Without knowing

As the memories pour out of the drawers

Like photographs and ticket stubs and

It shows in your look that

You see it too

I find myself smiling whenever you talk

"Let's never leave it this long again"

I can't even remember when

I last felt this much like I was home
