Id like my future to look a bit like this

I learned so much about a stranger here.

I'm having trouble with the summer

No it's not just the heat

It's the emotional runs

Not how I stick to my seat

It's the constant night crying

It's the hollow goodbyes

It has nothing to do with the temperatures highs

Notes from Summer

"I like your energy. I haven't felt this playful since middle school, I forgot how fun it is to like someone. I grew up and got used to the rush, meeting someone and developing something as soon as possible out of lack of patience; You draw me back. I love the gradual buildup.. I can't wait to see how much further I get each time I have the privilege to see you. I love the facts I learn a long the way, and how your image is changing in my head. I'm learning more and painting the person you are as best as I can and learning with each addition that there's more to like than I had originally admired. Thank you for slowing this down".

I wonder what lover you had wrapped around your finger before

Where she is now

how you left her

and if she's still wanting more

On friendship

I'll never write anything that can capture the depth of our bond, but I constantly analyze it and it never ceases to amaze me. I wish I could show everyone how we're so in sync with each other, it's almost like a different dimension. You do not need to speak, or even glance in my direction for me to know what you're thinking. I do not need to tell you an entire story for you to know the ending. I can feel your thoughts in the pit of my stomach when something's wrong, before you've even begun to tell me what's up. It's more than just our coincidental outfit coordinations and finishing each other's sentences, it's STARTING each other's sentences; it's sharing half of ourselves. I can't imagine what it feels like to not have someone like you, to not have anyone who wholeheartedly understands me and is on the same page.

And I asked the sky for answers

And the thunder spelt it back

That my wishes were simply foolish, they were something i'd always lack

And the subtle hope for changes where routine had made its own home

Was wiped out of the picture.

All I'm left to do is roam

[lessonsonstaying]

Quiet thoughts with louder lights brainstorming and silent fights

We traveled to a body of water only to find a fence keeping us out of reach.
