Short and Simple

“But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.”

i will love you on those days when you come home feeling alone and heavy. i can't say i will always understand, but i will give you my arms and let you rest against me. brush my fingers through your hair as you try to forget. listen to you as you spill words you've only ever thought of, and struggle with emotions you've never come to terms with. so bring your day home with you, you won't ever have to carry it alone. we can walk together through the halls of your past, visiting all the rooms you hate but can't quite forget. we can take our time exploring and i'll pretend i don't know why my shoulder's gotten all wet.

“Two souls are sometimes created together and in love before they’re born.”

I want to be the sigh of your mouth when you long for a kiss, and the warmth of the hug that you want to be holding you. Be the tail of the comet that as it passes through the sky of your thoughts always leaves a smile on your lips. Be the song that you always hum and that you know all the lyrics of. I want to be the favorite fragrance of your soul and be for your feet, the easiest path to find.

You made flowers grow in my lungs and although they are beautiful, I can't breathe.

And when you told me what your favorite book was, I bought it and read it over and over trying to find pieces of you in it.

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.”
