I wonder what you’re doing right now.

Are you catching stars in bottles and jars?

Are you making new constellations?

Are you exploring the unknown as we speak?

I can’t tell, but whatever you’re doing,

I hope you’re happy.

You are withered

You are strong

I can’t believe you’ve

stayed together this long.

You are the only thing

of mine that I can’t seem

to break

As we speak

These words that pour out of us like waterfalls,

My mouth tastes bittersweet

With the words that come out.

My body rejects the taste of these new words I never meant to let spill.

And as soon as it started,

The room we’re in fills up

With words that should’ve been

Left unsaid and I regret ever

opening my mouth to you.

Lazy days

Birds flying overhead

Naps at 4pm

Warm sun drenching

your back.

I’ll know

You love me

When you’re all

alone and you

smile just from

thinking of me.

Dear me,

Remember to love

even if it will never be,

even if they don’t love you back,

love and love yourself

most of all.

It feels like

everything is hanging

in the air,

waiting for something to happen,

where either you’ll say something,

or I’ll say something,

and for once,

the world will make sense

and everything will

fall into place

exactly as it should be.

I feel sorry for you

that you will never know

patience like I do.

You will never look

at someone and hope

that they’ve eaten

all their meals that day.

You won’t walk behind

the pack to make sure

no one gets left stranded.

I feel sorry for you

that you won’t ever

care for others.
