...

Her laughter was long and hard.
The kind that kept you up all night.
Dancing with words.
Constructing and reconstructing ways to hear her laughter again.

...

One day we will come back here.
To the place that we first met.
And it will be a painful kind of joke
That we thought we could last forever.

Because isn't that what love is?
Or lust or infatuation. Whatever you call it.
Isn't that what it is?
This immortal kind of hope.

Many Sweet Words

You are words.
You are many words.
You are many sweet words.
You are many sweet words I want to hear.
You are many perfectly timed sweet words I want to hear.

It's scary.
That you are words.
Because words can be fragile.
They build and they break,
But they can be fragile.
And they can be an outlet to your soul.
But they also camouflage.
And they change.
They are like liquid.
Conforming to the shape of context.

"I love you too"

So don't be words.
Darling,
I would say be actions.
But those can often be like words.
Natural chameleons.
I see what you show me.
I see what I want to see.

So darling, be glass.
Lay your soul on the table next to mine.
Let us see you.
Let me see you.
In all that you are not.
In all that you are.

Let me choose to love you.
Or choose to walk away.

Love Letter - My Sweet Poison

You.

Oh, you.

You are what keeps me up all night.

And I do not mean that I cannot sleep at night.

Wouldn’t that be easy?

If that was what lay heavily between us.

I mean you are the one that invades my unconsciousness.

You are my walls.

Against which the strengths of my character clash.

You are my thing

You are my thing that kills me.

You are my thing I think about when a line comes up in a movie.

You are my default shell.

The room I run into when life happens.

So why do I write to you?

Because I love you restlessly.

Without knowing what to do or how to show you.

I love you fiercely.

It’s a love that makes me want to give to you, the world.

I love you overwhelmingly.

It’s a love that builds me with joy and destroys me with worry.

So intensely that I want to heal every hurt you have suffered.

I want to pamper your mind, carry you through the future. That way, no hurt may come to you.

I love you.
My sweet poison, my delicious scar.

I love you.

Utterly. Ferociously. Relentlessly.
