I sit here and write about love as though I've never known heartache. Tell me, is that foolishness. Or is it in brokenness, that love is truly found?

How does it feel knowing you're ruled by your own mind and the only way too escape is through your imagination?

It’s been a while my dear friend

since I’ve pressed lead to paper.

My head has been chasing clouds

and my heart off chasing fantasies.

For sometimes among the chaos, I find silence.

And it’s there I let my thoughts 

wander off the edge of the world.

They tell us that boys wont like you if you're emotional.

If you spend too much time dreaming, or lost in your own thoughts.

So we hide it all away, behind shy smiles and lost eyes.

Chasing fairy tales kept locked away in the corners of our mind.

i know you think you’re broken because you feel everything so much that even the cosmos within you weigh you down and it’s hard to breathe without choking on the stars because sorrow sinks deep deep deep into your soul and makes itself at home like an unwanted relative visiting from out of town because sometimes it just hurts it hurts to be you but i promise you, darling you aren’t broken you’re just human

The 2am moonlight cascades through the window of my dimly lit train carriage.

A now luke warm coffee pressed to my lips in a desperate attempt to retain some sanity,

I fight the urge to sleep by scribbling senseless poetry into the pages of my notebook.

Though I laugh silently while gazing toward the rolling hills for inspiration.

When all my thoughts wander aimlessly over the distant horizon,

chasing fantasies about you instead.

That's the thing, I chose you. Not out of loneliness or desperation. But because when I looked into your eyes, I found a place I'd be comfortable to call home.

If I could go back in time & tell 2013 me one thing, it would be “it gets better”

He was different you know, the kind of different you ached to explore. For he carried himself unlike the others. He had eyes, the colour of the ocean, that held a thousand stories. And a soul so deep,  not many had the privilege  of ever meeting it's depths.

And though my insides are aching,

and my head is exploding

with endless questions,

I can't muster up the strength

to tell you how I feel.

So I'll sit here instead

and write letters

addressed with your name,

that I'll never send.

It’s scary, I know.

But it’s impossible for someone to love you

if they don’t even know who you are.”
