There Is Room for All of You Here

by Michaela Angemeer

when it was cloudy for six days straight you were the sun

i wonder if i’m the first person you called sunshine or kissed three times is this new to you too or is this what olivia was referring to when she wrote deja vu

look at how you’ve grown even without the sun

everything was hard until we found each other i wanna give you a soft life

i can’t believe i settled for scraps for so long bits of affection peppered with rejection taught that the only way i’d be worthy of love was begging on my knees with you it all comes so easily i’m standing on my own two feet i don’t have to ask for anything

i can’t explain where all my love for you came from it’s as if we once raised a child baby fingers gripping pinkies or died together on a bed of daisies it’s as if i were the sun and you were the moon always convincing each other the next day was worth rising for and when i was too caught up in being the ocean you never forgot to remind me what it feels like to burn i can’t believe we finally collided in this century cause i am certain i have loved you in more than a thousand different lifetimes
