“You’ve made it to the age
of intoxicated
freedom and what most consider
the start of adulthood.
Congratulations,
you’re still alive.
“Deceased at the age of 18”
you always thought the papers
would print this title off after the day
of your 18th birthday, but now
you’re 21 and there isn’t enough
ink in this world to help you feel
at ease with the fact that you
are still growing up, still fighting.
They ask you if you feel different,
older, more mature and experienced
with the ways of the world.
You shrug, say you don’t know
and take another shot.
You make your way to the bars
bathroom, and now here you
are, facing yourself and the years
that you pushed through
before you. You wonder if you
have changed. You touch
your skin and your face but
nothing seems to have changed
overnight as everyone
thinks it has. You are still
who you were when you turned
18, but the only thing that is
different is what everyone
can’t see; everything
that is inside of you.”

I wonder how we would
have turned out, if our love
would have made it if we
met at a later time, knowing
what we know now. I think
we would have had the strength
to keep fighting for this
instead of doing what we did
which was giving up and
walking away. But time has
a selfish way of showing
you things that you could
have used during those tough
moments, and maybe we
were actually meant to be
as distant as we are now.

“I was thinking of you and had a daydream. We had a picnic in a meadow somewhere near a small stream. I fed you blackberries till your lips were stained, and then we kissed till my lips were stained too. Then I held you close and we were more intertwined than being side by side, and then I stroked my fingertips over your eyelids and lips. Oh, your eyes make me swoon.”

You're already making so much impact on people's lives with your poetry, love. I know you have made a huge impact on mine.
I want to hold you in my fragile arms and kiss your forehead because you are so warm and so wonderful.
