While he offers me the world You’re the one I want The one who’s never promised a thing Yet whose face it is that haunts

Truth is...
Truth is… decisions are hard. So many times our hearts and heads don’t agree. If I’ve learned nothing else, it is to trust your gut. It usually works for me. If I can get past my head long enough to feel it. And right now I have a lot of options that would make some sense. Some safer than others. Maybe even one guarantee. And yet, the one with the most unknown, the one...

The Fleeting
So I know you have a crush on me. I can see it sometimes. It’s the way you look at me. The way you tilt your head and make your eyes sparkle. Sometimes it’s when you call me cute. Like when I remembered your middle name. So I know you have a crush on me. But it’s funny. All it takes is a night of darkness… of silence and I am back to a place of before you. ...

The Encore
So the idea of seeing you again hadn’t left my mind for a second all week. Ten hours passed and I felt like I had barely scratched the surface. There was so much more to say. My head needed to be on that shoulder of yours again. And those eyes. Not just blue. Crystal blue. Serendipitously blue. And tonight here you were. The same effortless conversation. I get anxious until you walk in....

Just Thinking: The New
Just thinking: That’s the thing about the new. There is parts of it that make you feel alive. Excited. And then there is the waiting. The doubt. The unfamiliar. And the claim is that somewhere between all those different things lies a compromise. A way to open your heart while keeping your guard up, while not being too forward. Too much. But not being too cold. And the rules are...

Ten Hours Were Ten Minutes
i get that it’s too long. y’all won’t read it. and i couldn’t care less.
That familiar face The one that I know Straight from the past Wrapped up in a bow
Sitting across We say our cheers Me coming to the city And the missed 14 years
And even though time stopped It was like it flew Ten hours were ten minutes That night I spent with...
When a Poem Isn't Enough
So I wrote about our night. Finally. It wasn’t easy. How do you catch every moment, every nuance and put it into a bunch of phrases that will make people lose their breaths? The way you made me lose mine? I memorized every little thing. The way you buried your face in my hair when I put my head on your shoulder. And I don’t want to forget it. And that poem, it gives it all a shot...
“So what’s your thinking now?”
“I could write a thesis on that.”
“I’d love to read that paper. And your book of poems had better include that elevator ride.”
Last night is dedicated to every girl who thinks she can’t have that guy.
The one who stares at him when he looks past her.
Last night was proof that everything can come back around. When you least expect it.
Behind the indifference,
is a girl who thinks that maybe
every wish she has ever made
got her sitting here next to you.

Save You
Some people show up They just sweep in They get you wishing early Before you even begin
You know there’s something special For always or just for now You want to capture every moment And save it forever somehow
And that’s how I feel When it comes to you Everything you say And everything you do
I just want to remember So I know how it should be Whenever love shows up On my doorstep...
Faith
“We will figure it out… I have faith.” I read the words and felt myself exhale. Sometimes when you say things I am caught off guard by them being the perfect responses. I found it ironic actually. Our friendship wouldn’t be easy. In fact, talking as long as we have has been nothing more than just what you said. Faith. The blind kind. If I’ve said it once,...
“There are too many mediocre things in love. Love shouldn’t be one of...”

“Permission to overstep?” “Granted.” “Will you be my Valentine?” “Yes.”
You said you would have rather written “You bet your sweet little ass,” but went with yes instead. I told you I couldn’t teach 4th grade without one. You were just helping out. And for the first time in as long as I can remember, I have a Valentine. One that...
This Year You're My Valentine
how could you not love this story as much as me? swoon.
So this year you’re my valentine I asked you no or yes You said yes on a napkin You wrote it in caps
And I can assure you You were never part of my plan Yet here I am writing About you at 1am
This year you are my valentine If you had told me way back That I would get this chance I’d die a hopelessheartattack
And maybe some...
Is it that I want only what I can't have?
Is it that I want only what I can’t have? Or is it just that everything is better inside my head? I love the stories. The romance. The looks held a second longer than they should be. And when you’re out of my reach, you occupy my mind relentlessly. Yet when you’re here, in my world, for real, I push you away. My mind becomes avoidant. Otherwise engaged. Do I want only what I...
“And I will spend the night wih you in my mind - since it could never be as good...”
