September 6th

With you I’m not very good at expressing myself,
I can write beautifully, soliloquies and sonnets about the first boy I ever loved.
And explain to you how the big bang theory was based on my heart.

As we talked for 365 days, we learned that growing up
We were never thought how words could freely flow from mind   out into the world.
But somehow, somewhere around day 182 we found a comfort in consoling each other.

or so it seemed.

But like a bad seed,
Growing in a  beautiful flower bed,
it would eventually bloom into something ugly,
destroying what was once picturesque

There must have been some doubt,
some bad thought, which through my star loved eyes I could not see.
Because  on the 6th of September he called to say;
“It’s not you, its me, I just don’t have any room in my life right now”
Ironic that I have always loved, the cliché of romantic movies.

The silence was deadly,
it killed slowly like chlorine gas for over a year,
For over a year there was anxiety attacks,
breathing problems and sleepless nights  to name but a few.

You might think its pathetic to complain,
but I’m glad I fell in love with a boy,
because my world would not handle being shattered by a man.

June 26th

As I was living the moment I felt it slipping away,
This day June 26th,
The date reels me back to

 

Another summery hot city night
Books were strewn across the room,
in what was once my attempt at study
But the rising heat

was floating my thoughts to you and me

On a torn piece of paper
I inscribed the date in bold red,
Folding it back into my precious memory box

 

For our future, I think optimistically

 

Later that night I saw you
The way you stood leaning
back against the desk;
catching my eye
Mid sentence I try to catch my breath and
breath out the butterflies flying through my chest

 

All this and you were unfazed
to the world it would seem you had peace of mind.

 

I did always love that about you,
how you could be in the moment for other people,
irregardless of the turmoil of  your own life.

 

That was the first day of our story
Future dates were more painful to remember

 

Fast forward three years
I sometimes wonder if you ever got the life you were looking for without me.

 

But I had felt the moment slipping as I was living it.
