i still wake up dreaming of you some nights
for a moment, i expect to feel your breath upon my neck -
our hearts beating like the slightly off tempo songs we used to write
but there’s no breeze upon my neck and the only sound
i hear is the thud thud thud of my heart struggling to beat for one
- sometimes i have to remind myself that we’re better off apart
‘better off apart’ doesn’t have to mean i’m better off alone though
does it? because i’m not, no matter how hard i try, nor which way i look
and, lets face it, i never was good at pretending with us -
like sometimes, i close my eyes and try to pretend my pillow’s you
but i can’t make my pillow hold me, not like you used too
and even a hot water bottle doesn’t warm me like your words did
at lunch i have to remind myself to stop, just for a second
and remember that you always liked me to eat a proper meal
not one of those rushedsaladatmydesk lunches i’m used too
(you really did teach me a lot)
you see, before i met you i’d lost myself and i hadn’t even notice
when you came along and burst the bubble i’d been hiding in
i felt like i’d lost everything and managed to blame it all on you
but you forced me to open my eyes - made me start afresh
i might not have gone about it the best way, but i did try my love
i always said the wrong thing, especially when i tried to word it right,
like
when i said ‘i have to be believe in myself before i can ever believe in us’
i wanted you to say you believed in me enough for the both of us
and that somehow you’d show me how to see what you see
instead, you just told me i was right and that was that
it’s amazing how quickly a world can fall in

yours to keep.
keep me in your mind
keep me like a secret
even when it's hard
keep me next to you
keep me in your bad nightmares
even when we're sour
keep me in your heart
keep me; keep me even if
you don't need me
Literature
give me something poetic.
like the way the grass
sparkles
at dawn. scratch that,
too cliche. say,
shush, close your eyes
see the dawn
then forget. forget
because forgetting
is poetic. remember
your grandmother, sick
in the hospital, saying
the old should be beautiful.
this deserves
remembering.
Literature
i wanna know where you are.
write how i feel? okay, this is how i feel.
i miss you. you disappoint me over and over again, but i miss you. the way things are when i'm with you is just so fantastic i can't even explain what it does to me. i feel like the world is about to collapse when you're away and when you're here i can't gather the strength to breathe.
everytime my phone goes off i want it to be you. i have written letters in my head that i would love to say but i can't. i want you to text me or call me or drop by my house just to say all these words that i keep wishing you will. i want you to play me the song i told you to write for me and i want you to see me on
