I can’t stop thinking about kissing you.

Morning light spills through my window, slow and honeyed,

and I drift somewhere between waking and want—

caught in a quiet spell where everything leads back to you.

My thoughts sway like soft music,

a melody only my body seems to hear.

In that dream, my hands find you first—

fingers threading through your hair

like they’ve always known the way.

We hover—

a breath, a heartbeat, a universe apart—

until I close the distance

and time forgets how to move.

Your lips…

warm, yielding—

something to be tasted, not rushed.

I linger there,

like I’m learning a language

I never want to stop speaking.

You fall back into softness,

and I follow—drawn, inevitable,

like gravity was rewritten just for us.

My hands cradle you,

my mouth finding yours again, deeper now—

not desperate,

but certain.

Like this moment was always waiting.

I kiss you

like the world is ending quietly around us,

like you are something sacred

and I am undone in your presence.

And even when I wake—

sunlight still stretching across my skin—

I’m left in that same daze…

tracing every feeling

back to you.

Effort That Never Came

How easy it was for you to walk away

after saying you loved me.

I asked for respect, for loyalty—

and still, you chose

to disrespect me again and again.

I kept trying,

waiting for you to show me

that I was more than just a body to you.

But every conversation

circled back to the same place—

and it was never my heart.

You said you wanted a life with me,

but never cared to know me.

I learned your favorite things,

memorized the details you never noticed I kept—

yet you never once asked

what I liked.

Even in something as small as a game,

you chose for me.

Maybe I wanted romance there—

because I never felt it here.

Maybe I wanted effort.

But I guess

that was too much to ask.

For once,

I tried to take things slow—

thinking maybe

that’s how something real could last.

But the joke was on me.

Because apparently,

love doesn’t last—

at least, not the kind

you gave me.

What I Deserve

It wasn’t easy for me to walk away—

even after everything.

Because I meant it

when I said I loved you.

But love shouldn’t feel like

begging to be respected,

like asking over and over

just to be chosen right.

I gave you patience,

softness,

the kind of care

that learns someone’s favorite things

just to see them smile.

And somewhere in that,

I forgot to ask

why you never learned me.

I am more than a moment,

more than a body,

more than something to return to

only when it’s convenient.

I wanted slow love—

the kind that grows roots,

the kind that lingers

in the quiet moments.

And I still believe in that.

Just not with someone

who made me feel like

I had to earn it.

So I’m taking myself back now—

my time,

my energy,

my softness.

I’m choosing me

the way I kept choosing you.

And maybe love doesn’t last

when it’s one-sided—

but I am learning

that I do.

And I will not settle

for anything

that makes me forget

what I deserve.

• You are enough •

[eri-keke06]

Try taking some time off to rest and recharge and do it without guilt.

That is one good way to avoid burnout.

I romanticize love

so deeply

that I once mistook pain for proof

that I was wanted.

I let someone

who could not hold me gently

teach me how it feels

to be broken in silence.

She tore me down—

and I stayed,

not because I deserved it,

but because I couldn’t believe

someone had chosen me at all.

Now,

every day I grow a little stronger…

but at night,

the quiet still finds me.

I am surrounded by people,

a house full of voices—

yet somehow

loneliness still knows my name.

But the love I dream of…

it’s different.

She isn’t just beautiful—

she is warmth,

the kind you feel in your chest

before you ever see her face.

She craves moonlight

the way I do,

finds freedom in open air,

in late-night skies

and wandering without a plan.

She doesn’t need the world’s glow

to feel alive—

she already is.

Her heart is gold,

soft in the way it reaches for others,

kind without needing to be seen.

She doesn’t just look like love—

she lives it,

in the way she speaks,

in the way she stays.

She honors where she comes from,

even when it’s complicated.

She loves deeply—

children, family, life—

and she understands

the hardest choices I’ve made

came from love, too.

She holds me

on the days I feel heavy,

and I hold her

like she’s something sacred—

because she is.

She craves my presence

the way I crave her laughter,

and somewhere between our silence

and our jokes,

we just… understand each other.

There’s so much I want

I could never write it all—

but I don’t have to.

Because deep down,

I already know.

I don’t want something uncertain,

or half-given,

or fragile.

I want the kind of love

that doesn’t make me question

if I’m worthy of it.

I want what my heart

has always deserved—

true,

unwavering,

undeniable love.

Gray

 Gray is the color of quiet moments the hush between heartbeats, the sky when it cannot decide what to become. It doesn’t demand to be seen, Yet it’s always there, holding everything together. I like it because it understands balance How to exist without needing to be loud.

 Gray feels like a place to rest. Not darkness, not light—just something in between, where thoughts can breathe without being rushed. It reminds me that not everything has to be certain, that there’s beauty in the middle, in the undefined.

Gray carries a quiet kind of sadness not heavy, not breaking, just enough to feel real. Like clouds that never quite turn to rain. I find comfort in that softness, in something that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is.

Gray doesn’t try to stand out— and that’s exactly why it does. It moves through everything, steady, understated, constant. A color that doesn’t need attention to have meaning.

Sing to me

By chase bowman

Sing to me—

tell me all those broken promises

that still echo in your chest,

the whispered words

that won’t let you rest.

Tell me every secret

you were too afraid to be,

like every wish you made

on a falling star—

hoping someone, somewhere,

would finally hold your hand

and become everything

they said they’d be.

Tell me about the nights

you cried yourself to sleep,

teardrops staining your sheets

like quiet confessions

no one came to keep.

All the cruel words

that carved into your heart,

every shattered piece

that made you doubt

who you are.

So tell me—

would you let me hold your hand

when the dark comes creeping in?

Would you pull me closer

if the voices start to win?

And if I fall apart too,

if my tears find their way to you,

soft against your chest

with no words I can explain—

would you stay?

Would you just

sing to me?

Just a dream

By chase bowman

The heat in her fingertips

isn’t loud—

it’s a slow burn,

the kind that lingers

long after she’s touched me.

She traces constellations

across my skin,

and suddenly

I’m no longer standing—

I’m falling,

somewhere between her hands

and the way she says my name

without speaking.

When she wraps herself around me,

it isn’t just closeness—

it’s gravity.

Like the whole world

has decided

this is where I belong.

Her breath

against the back of my neck

sends shivers through me—

not rushed,

not reckless,

just enough

to remind me

how deeply I can feel.

She is warmth and wonder,

the sun I lean into,

the moon I confess to,

every quiet star

I’ve ever wished on—

and still,

she is softer

than all of them.

And I swear,

if she could see herself

the way I do—

the light in her eyes

holding both fire and ache,

the strength it takes

just to keep shining—

she’d realize

she isn’t something fleeting,

not a moment,

not a passing spark—

she’s the kind of love

people spend lifetimes

searching for

and never quite find.

Her kiss

at the back of my neck…

the way it makes my whole body tremble,

like she’s discovered

every hidden spark in me.

She is the sun,

the moon,

and every star in between—

and still,

she is more

than a single night could ever hold.

If only she would wake me

from this dream…

or maybe—

let me stay in it

a little longer.

“Lighthouse of Love”

Through the fog and raging seas, Your light finds me, steady, free. When storms of doubt begin to rise, You are the beacon in my skies.

Though waves may crash and nights grow long, Your glow is constant, safe, and strong. A quiet pulse that leads me through, A home, a hope, a love so true.

Even when the world feels lost, Or shadows claim the skies with frost, I follow where your lantern shines, Your love—a guide through all of time.

“The Lighthouse”

Upon the jagged cliffs it stands, A sentinel of light and stone. Through storms that roar and batter lands, It whispers, “You’re not alone.”

Its beam cuts through the endless night, A silver thread on blackened seas. For wandering ships, a steadfast sight, A promise carried on the breeze.

Though waves may crash and winds may howl, Its flame burns steady, brave, and true. A quiet guard, a guiding owl, It keeps the dark from swallowing you.

And when the morning paints the sky, The lighthouse fades with gentle grace. Yet still it waits, with watchful eye, A silent guardian of this place.

“Beacon of Love”

Through night’s endless storm, Your light steadies my lost heart Home in every glow.

Your love, a lighthouse, Guides me through the darkest seas, Steady through the storm, Always leading me to home.
