Dear Crush
Every time you walk into a room I have to remind my heart to beat again ,
My lungs get amnesia and I forget how to breath and I have to send search parties to find my words.
How can someone so beautiful be so broken.
1. I’m falling in love with you overwhelmingly, the way a tsunami hugs a sandcastle.
2. I’m falling in love with you quietly, hiding behind metaphors in poems you will never read.
3. You see, I see my tomorrow in you, but you can’t seeing yesterday in him, in so my hims
4. And I don’t know how much more of myself I can amputate for you to finally feel whole again
5. I don’t know how to be the architect of your happiness while you are the perpetrator of my pain
6. Falling in love with you is like falling in love with broken glass. The more I hold on to you, the deeper the cut, the more I bleed And damit I’m still learning how to stop bleeding for you and still call it love
7. You are an encyclopedia of brokenness, A cacophony of heartbreak
8. I have tried to help you use the broken pieces of your heart as building blocks to help you build a bridge to get over this pain but all your heart has ever been good at is breaking
9. I heard that in Japan there’s a technique called kintsugi, where they take broken objects and piece them together by filling the cracks with gold, from this I learnt that broken can still be beautiful,
10. From this I learnt that broken is not the end of the story.
