PERFUME

I felt his presence in his absence but I could not feel his essense in his presence and when I realized this, I knew it wasn’t love.

(or maybe it wasn’t him)

crush

At first, it was the music:

the song of your laugh and

the melodic drip of thoughts from my brain

the drumming of my heart wanting a piece of yours

Then the dance:

you lead and I follow naively and

silently convincing myself that our

feet could step at the same speed

And now it's the respect:

despite the wrenching pain of truth

that means your eyes can't alight as mine so often do

the ache feels less to know that you

truly are the person I always will love

Because you're the best of us

And I don't regret any of my misplaced hopes

in a crush

because what I've got is a friend for life

and that's all the love I should ever need

Wonderfully painful

There’s something more attractive about knowing they will probably leave you broken in a million pieces

The ones that leave you shattered are the ones you would have kept forever

but they’re also the ones who never deserved your love and they never will

Night Owl

In the day

they are quiet

and keep to themselves

they were a closed book

But after 9*

they open up

they’re wild

quirky

fun

nerdy

(amazing)

(bashful, sometimes)

(cute)

They have the dorkiest laugh...

(I never get to hear it in the day)

I don’t have a crush on them (anymore)

but I still remember the way I thought of them.

* We were at a campout.

My Polar Bear

I call him My Polar Bear. We're dating now. We met in 8th grade when I said something and he called me biased. I knew then, when he called me biased, that I wanted to be his friend. Then he texted me. I was so excited about this boy, who called me biased, texting me and wanting to be my friend. We started with small talk, talking about music. He had a very different taste from I. He willingly listened to the screaming metal I preferred and I listened to the honest raps he liked. He was hanest and told me what he thought of my favorite songs. Soon I found myself venturing away from my usual taste of music, listening to music by NF. I talked to him every day.

He is honest and kind and intelligent. I love that about him. He's stubborn and cute and a bit goofy at times. Within a few weeks I desperately wanted him to like me. I wanted him to at least have a crush on me, even if it meant that he liked me while I love him. Even if it meant him breaking my heart. He had this dorky looking picture of himself and gosh it's amazing.

I wished then, and I wish now, that i could take my fingers and run them through his hair. I wished then and I wish now that I could gaze into his eyes for eternity. I remember in 6th grade all the girls had crushes and they'd write their crush's name down inside a heart and draw thousands of hearts around it. I never did that in 6th grade. Nor 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or even 7th grade. But I did in 8th grade. When I met this boy.

I love him because he has this way of making me feel accepted, even when I can't accept myself. I love him because he has the most amazing personality. I love him because he is him and doesn't change himself for me or anyone. I love him because he is patient and calm and sweet.

I love him. My Polar Bear

impossible you

talking with you is

digging into stone

turning it into gravel and

shaping it again

your face is a sculpture

of which I couldn't dream

the possibility of you is

unimaginable and yet

I'll always try

you are a delicacy of the times and

I will not take you for granted.

table for two

he wanted flowers, but i’m his vase

they move while i stay in place

they’re a catch, but i’m a chase

he wanted flowers, but i’m his vase

their stems cover my base

but they’ll wither while i keep my grace

he wanted flowers, but i’m his vase

they’ll fill my space

but they won’t leave a trace

he wanted flowers, but i’m his vase

we both long for his embrace

remember...

his hands caress me when he brings them to his face

he wanted flowers, but i’m his vase

they came and went at their own pace

they came and went, but i won the race

...

Highschool Chorus Buddy

Okay... This guy called Tony is so funny and witty he make me feel nervous sometimes.

He also flirts a lot and sometimes I'm oblivious XD.

Though I think I like him? I've never really liked someone before...

Crushed

Beautiful. He is beautiful. I do not mean his physical appearance, which absolutely does not go unnoticed. He is unapologetically dope and real. You know, like a pair of faded black jeans. His spirituality is the most attractive part of him. His love of Jesus makes me weak in the knees. That was a sacrilegious sentence, but I am not sorry. When he teaches, when he exegetes a text, when he sings a song, when he performs a poem, the oil drips from his lips, from his spirit. His soul is beautiful like an ombre sky. He is complicated and rare. He is fully human and fully flawed. These words are taking my breath away as I type them. His face on a screen makes me giddy and shy. Every part of me is alive, afraid, overjoyed, overwhelmed, at his person. Ironically, he does not even know I exist. We are perfect strangers, who in my mind, would be perfect for one another. Can reality meet fantasy? If he knew me would he crush back?
