I used to have
so much faith 
in humanity,
and then
I met you.

And when the day comes
that seeing your name
doesn’t make the hair
on my arms stand up,
and doesn’t make my heart
beat beyond my chest,
that will be the day
that I know I can
continue on without your
memory weighing me down.

I don’t want to be afraid of opening up.
But that’s so damn difficult
when every time I try to fold back the pages
of my life to you, you act as if
you’ve seen it all before.

I. When it all starts,
everything feels fine,
and we both feel as if
that our hands could carry
even the heaviest troubles.

II. Nothing is as new
as it used to be,
and I don’t know why,
but now your voice
is the only thing
that is able to put me 
right to sleep at night.

III. With you, I don’t feel
so small, and I don’t want to
push myself off of rooftops
during the humid summer days.

IV. I hope this feeling
isn’t temporary, and I hope
that your love is able to
give me the things
that I will never be able
to give to myself.

V. As long as your
dedication is as strong
as your urgency for protection,
I think we’ll both be
just fine.

everything feels
so fragile
when it is resting
in the palms
of your mischievous
hands.

everything just feels really light right now and my skin seems so delicate and my fingers feel fragile. everything feels good and calm but i know it isn’t, and knowing that i feel this way right now is really clarifying and i feel certain that things are going to mend themselves for once.

And even if I end up
erasing you from my mind,
I know that we will
someday meet again.
Because I just know
that we are meant to be.

You are so delicate
that I still don’t know
how to properly hold you
without destroying
what took someone
so long to create.

So badly, you want to prove to him
that his absent presence is something
that you do not mourn. That the way
he once held you so tightly, is not
something that your skin misses.
You want to show him that you
no longer love him, in hopes that he
will realize that he still loves you.

I’ve created moments in my mind of things that we never did,
and words that I wish you would have said to me.
I don’t know why, but I always find myself going over situations,
and scenes that have yet to occur while we are together.
But I still let my thoughts run wild,
and you better be quick if you want to catch up
with everything that I have ever wanted from you.
