“There’s always a little truth behind “just kidding”, a little knowledge behind “I don’t know”, a little emotion behind “I don’t care”, and a little pain behind “It’s okay”.”

Daylight rise

Silhouetted the side of your face

Making it glow, golden

Yet I can still see the tears

On your eyes

When i said, this is the end.

The scene akin

To a beloved grave

Hidden beneath

Growing wildflowers

Like an ocean wave

Magnificent, majestic

As it swallows the surfer

Forever unseen.

Goodbye, my dear Jemima

Dearest Eloise

Beloved Pheobe

My Darling Chelsea

Words I've whispered

From long past

Yet as I hear you sob

I could never utter

Goodbye... my most loved

Jiarah.

In all the ways,

I've been selfless.

Let this be my selfish wish,

Hope.

I hope you never find the love

I give with anyone else.

I hope my eyes haunt you

In every eyes you gaze...

I hope my laughter

Is a note you look for

In every timbre of her laugh.

I hope you are loved.

Just not in the way

We've loved.

Just not in the way I did.

Maybe then, it'll hurt

A little less.

What does it mean when someone says "Tamagochi but make it hot "

[booklover1296]

I've just started seeing color again,

started smiling again.

I've just started to dance

when I'm out for a run.

One day, one night,

you commented on a random post.

I thought it'd be funny

to slide into your DMs

and see if you had any balls.

It was only for fun.

It would've been fine

if we'd stayed friends.

But your heart was broken,

your ego bruised,

and I—

maybe I made you feel better.

You always called,

and I allowed it.

Sent me texts and little things.

Now you forget me

and ask for space.

Sure.

What's more space

than the sixteen kilometers

already standing between us?

You still say you love me,

but I don't see it.

I don't feel it.

And suddenly

everything turned grey.

I don't dance anymore.

Nor do I write.

And I feel alone,

like expensive china

forgotten in a cupboard.

And I wonder

how I got myself here.

He told me to not takw his distance personally that he is going through a lot of things on his end. His mind is not well.

And i am dying. He says he loves me but I am dying... and I want to see this through. I am just afraid who will I be at the end of the road.

I don't know how to revive this... or maybe I should just let it be? But letting it be feels a lot like letting go.

[booklover1296]

Fall seem to have come early,

Cold and desolate

Right around the bend

Winter is smoking

With a sneer on its lips.

Strange for its only been June.

Spring will retire and soon

Here comes summer.

But it awfully feels

A lot like fall.

I want to smile and be hot

But winter claws my heart.

Strange how you brought spring

And melted my snow

Only to bring the clouds

Where the sun

Should shine in.
