all i know of love
is this ache that lingers in your absence
that lingers when you stay
is this sting when your eyes are on my skin
and everything burns in their wake
everything in me burns
but the lips that i know you’ll never kiss
the hunger that i know you’ll never sate
the feelings that i know you’ll never express
everything in me burns for you
knowing even if you want it too
you’ll never let yourself burn the same
— all i know of love is its ache | wt.

“i have a problem with letting go of things with clenching my hands like a vice and holding on despite everything it’s why i keep all my memories with me carry them in my phone, on my walls in the little box inside my closet even though it’ll always remain closed i have a hard time letting go of people, of memories that no longer ring true i clutch them like i’d be bereft without them the conversations with people i don’t speak to anymore the photos i want to pull down from my walls the memories i no longer want to recall i never allow myself to mourn i hoard them and keep them close and i just can’t seem to let go.”
— i no longer want to meet new people because i’m afraid one day all they’ll ever be are memories i want to revisit, redo, ones that i want to stay in forever and would forever regret. memories that i would never let go of, but memories, nevertheless | wt.
