I have a pain
in my chest
Some longing in my heart,
an emptiness inside me
I’ve waited so patiently,
and still I wait
I wait for you to arrive
At the rendezvous in the dark morning
In blazing glory and dark
stubble.
I wait for you at the end
of sentences,
on the side of the road,
in the dead of night.
(my favorite) ways to say i love you
you’re really something, aren’t you
come here
sit next to me?
you’re my favorite
i was just thinking about you
i notice you all the time
here, i made this for you
this song reminds me of you
if you do it, i’ll do it
i miss you so much
i wish i had known you sooner
you’re warm
It's not an easy thing to accept your first love as unrequited it is a hard arduous journey. It is, my friend an epic of sorts

The art of letting go.
when I think about sunshine and laughter it is your face that comes to my mind.
I'm holding you tightly so you don't slip away away, I think I'm holding on too tight my finger lingering slowly up, it strokes your soft hand, along your cheeks, I twist my finger around your hair. damn, I forgot you don't like that.
I see something in your eyes fuck, I'm stranded in an art museum.
I'm alone in your garden and my head is full of you. I like you too much I want you all to myself. What is your dream, this world. Our Dreamworld. The garden we are laying seeds down for. I think, what if one day I have to forget your eyes? Your voice ? I wonder will I lose you? I'm holding on so tight, it feels like I'm fighting a whole city.
The seeds, what will happen to the seeds I'm planting. the trees, the flowers, the lilies, the roses, the sunflowers and avo trees - they always were too expensive in shops. will they have blossomed? Have you tasted its fruit? will I have to tear it down, Will I have to burn this garden too? I can't,
I will water it forever and wait but what if you return only with a firestick? My tears fill up rivers for you. But my feelings fill the ocean. Is this an endless garden? don't plant thistles or ivy! My heart pains, I hate tearing down gardens, Have I already? Tell me what it is that you see? In the mirror I see, no lily, no rose, no sunflower. I turn and see baby blue Cadillacs driven by peg-legged nuns on pogo sticks. I lay my head on your heart I hear one, two, three heartbeats.
Will I be turned into a person who's text is left on read. but don't worry I say. I will never say a word
Ah that motherfucker, there she is, what a bitch
Yeah, there are liars but then there's you..mmm, in retrospect that's what probably brought me to you
Priest by Julia Michaels
Just because we can't be together, doesn't mean I won't love you.
