a love letter
I wrote you a love letter
Just because.
We had only been together for two months
But I couldn’t help but let my heart tell you what I felt.
I gave you a love letter
Just because.
You gave me a kiss in return
But you put the letter in your pocket and left.
I asked you about the love letter
Just because.
You recalled that you had it and read it right away
But you were caught off-guard, by the words my heart had spoken for you.
It’s something as small as a love letter that can express true love for someone
Just because.
exposed
you close your eyes and wonder,
if you'll ever be good enough.
the ones that leave will leave, and the ones that stay will stay.
the tornadoes that roam the land that is your mind, will keep tormenting every thought you have.
the hurricanes that twist your heart in knots, will expose every inch of you to everyone you are scared of.
you are terrified of the wildfires that will set you on fire and break you down.
everybody expects you to lose control.
everybody expects you to be upset.
sometimes you just can't help it.
you lose the game.
no regrets
I’ve hurt you
yes
but I cannot apologize for the minor way I hurt your feelings
when all you’ve done was antagonize me,
tortured me with your actions.
I’ve stayed up late unable to sleep because I can’t stop thinking about how different you are from when I met you
I’ve cried so many tears over the fact that you’re still the only person I want
but can’t have
because I realize how much you don’t want me;
because I realize how toxic you are for me;
and because I realize that I’m better off without you.
I can’t apologize for my mistakes when you still haven’t apologized for your own.
home
I dream of the days,
The days I have no worries.
The evenings when the setting sun warms my face one last time,
Before dipping below the horizon, only to rise again.
Only when I go home to the south, will I be truly happy.
dream boy
he feels like a spring day;
like the warmth of the sun on your face.
when you breathe in the clear air and you can feel every cell in your body become alive again.
when you don't need to wear a sweater outside.
he's like the sweet sound of the birds singing in the trees as the sun rises and shines upon the fresh dew scattered on the grass.
he showers me with love like the summer sprinkles the freckles back on my cheeks.
he's the only thing that can mend the scars on my heart, the only one that makes me feel like me again.
he feels like a comforting home after a long day.
I feel so much love for him, and I can only imagine how much he loves me.
