Why did we ruin us by thinking?
Why didn’t we just continue to feel?!
Now every text is calculated and
to be honest I’m terrible at math!
Trying to fill the spaces you occupied
just days ago is emotionally laboring.
I want to go back to the moments of tranquil
intimacy we shared that felt so easy.
Like just laying across your lap or chest
as we vibe to our mutual love of music.
Or laughing uncontrollably to some
corney joke only you and I find funny.
Why did we ruin us by thinking?
Why didn’t we just continue to feel?!

Quotes for the Soul: Special
I know that I’m a great person.
I love me. I’m a pretty dope soul.
But special is something I’ve never
been called or been able to
identify with until now and
I don’t know how to explain the way
I feel when you say it with such conviction.
It’s like you’re taking the wings I forgot I had, gently spreading them wide,
and encouraging me to fly.
“Butterflies don’t know the color of their wings, but human eyes know how beautiful it is. Likewise, you don’t know how good you are, but others can see that you are special.” -Unknown
Want
I want you but not in the way you
mean it when you tell me the same.
I want all of you for my consumption.
I want to drink you 8 times a day like water.
I want your nutrients for breakfast and dinner.
I want to sink into all that you are then
I want to read you and write you into poetry.
Dive
You have to just dive in
and just hope they’ll
reach to pull you up
and not let you drown.
Because it’s in the moment
between that gasp of new air
and almost taking your last…
That you just might find
a love worth drowning for.
Run
Everything you’ve said
makes me want to runaway.
You don’t want a relationship &
you’re not sure about marriage.
I don’t know how to be
in this space without hope.
I don’t know how to stay in
a moment without a future.
This feels like a set up…
An experience for you,
And heartbreak for me.
