my poetry professor told me that whenever I needed to write that I could go in his office and do so. being in there, i am surrounded by so many beautiful things. mostly his book collection. i have never been so inspired by being in school before.

I made myself a house
on the inside of your heart,
because it’s the only place
that feels like home.

Our love became alanguage overtime; one that cannotbe translatedby anyonebut us.

Our love became a
language overtime;
one that cannot
be translated
by anyone
but us.

When I spoke to you
for the first time,
my tongue stumbled
over itself, and its meaning
became one that is
hardly recognized by most.
But you understood
what my mouth was 
trying to say, and that’s
when I knew that we were
going to create something
that not everyone 
would be able to depict.

If there is still a chance,

tell me now before I use up

all of my time searching

for someone who will actually

appreciate all the love

that I have to give.

And I’ve waited for you

to be ready to let me become

everything you have ever

needed. But I think that

my energy would be better

spent being elsewhere,

in a place that is willing

to take what I have to give

into heart. And now I take

that back. So if there is

a chance of you wanting me,

keep it to yourself. Because

I am already looking for

someone who will let me know

that what I have put on

the table, is worth the wait.

When I look inside of your eyes,
I am reminded of all the times
that I could have been happy
by being with you. But instead
I let my fear take over my choices,
and I put myself behind everything
that I have ever lusted for.
I was supposed to end up with you.
I was meant to love you forever.
But instead, whenever I look
inside of your eyes, I am reminded
of all the times that I could have
been in love with someone
who wanted nothing more
than to see me side by side with bliss.

I woke up this morning
to the feeling of missing you,
and through out the rest
of the day, I spent my time
wondering how my mind
could do this to my heart.
Just when I least expected it,
your memory returned
once again, and there was
nothing my heart could do
but to push itself down
and accept defeat.
But I cannot let who you
used to be tear down the walls
of who I am becoming.
So tonight, when I try to
put myself to sleep,
I will tell my mind
that my heart is ready
for anything; in hopes of
facing you in my dreams,
one more time.

there are so many things that i want to say but my tongue keeps tripping over itself and it started snowing today and i took a bubble bath and drank pink wine and i just, i just don’t know who i am anymore.

“

It only costs $80 for a ticket

on a train that will lead me

to your arms; my home.

And it’s a chance

that I will not miss.

When I calculate

all of the lost moments

that you and I

were never able

to encounter, I tell myself

that those are moments

that will never forgive me.

I asked myself the other day

when I thought I was going to

be ready to surrender to love;

even if that meant

going the distance

just for one night with you.

We argued back and forth,

but ultimately I will be ready

when you say that you are too.

I don’t want to hold on any longer.

It’s been two years too long,

and when I am finally able to

feel your skin against mine,

that is when I will know

that loving you was worth the wait.
