Here is to another month
ending before anything 
has had enough time
to make itself right.

"I do not miss youbecause the lonelinesshas finally made its wayinside of my heartwhere you..."

“I do not miss you

because the loneliness

has finally made its way

inside of my heart

where you once

stayed.


I do miss you

because our home

is starting to feel

like vacant rooms

without you

to fill them in.


I do not miss you

because my body

is starting to forget

the way your skin

felt against its

most sensitive parts.


I miss you because

everything I once

thought meant so much

to me means nothing

unless you are here

to appreciate it too.”

- "I miss you for the right reasons," - Colleen Brown

If you forget about mesomeday I won’t mind.Because at...

If you forget about me

someday I won’t mind.

Because at least I will

have those memories

of when we were happy

pressed against the sky.

"I know that you miss me, and that you wish things would have gone differently, or that we would have..."

“I know that you miss me, and that you wish things would have gone differently, or that we would have had more time. But do you think you are the only one who has been taken for granted? Do you think that just because I am trying to move on means that I no longer love you? Because no amount of months filled with silence that are put in-between us will ever change the fact that I still love you and always will. We were both so selfish when we first met. We never seemed so be on the same page, let alone the same topic. I was always waiting for you to speak first while you were always waiting for me to touch you. I am sorry for this mess that we both made. This mess that is too heavy for either of our hands to clear. But everyday we are pushing through these heaps of cruel words and mislead assumptions, and everyday we are realizing that not even love could make enough noise to fill in the silence that we created for ourselves. I’m trying to think of new ways to apologize to you, to tell you that I do not think you are the only one to blame. But as I write out letters of regret I am always left with a blank ending, an empty pen, new reasons to why we should have waited. I spend most of my time looking for my courage in the things you left behind. I’m trying to find it because I want to use it for when you come back. I want to apply it so you can see that I am not all talk but over analyzed actions. I want you to think better of me like you did before you were in front of me. I want to be your muse again, your perfected poetry, your everything is still good thoughts. Maybe I will use this mess of bitter thoughts and passive aggressive confessions in your next letter. Maybe this will help you understand a little bit more to why it is that I’m still holding on. Maybe you’ll write back. Maybe you’ll come back. Maybe you’ll help me come to terms with our love suffering in the way that it did. And maybe, just maybe this will help you see that even though it feels like I’m moving on, I’m somehow still right beside you.”

I would have loved you more,I would have loved you the most, I would have loved you with everything...

I would have loved you more,
I would have loved you the most,
I would have loved you with everything
if only you would have just let me.

i know it was selfish,but i couldn’t help myself.
