Every time you look at me this is what I want to say
Folder:
2017 How did I get so lucky?
I love you
not because you own me
but because you know me
Sometimes I try to choose my favorite picture of you
and then I realize that every picture of you is my favorite
Tell me
does it hurt being free
or are you catching me because
somehow I have made your arms into a net
somehow I am better than nothing
I thought I could fly
but now I’m cutting myself on the mountain peaks
and dipping too close to the dark
I am not anyone to chase
but I let you
with every word
every breath
every fingertip
you make
the yesterdays
when I didn’t have you
feel like so far from enough
She loves me like I’m brand new
when did I become so bold
I need to say
don’t date a writer
she will spend too much time looking up
and not enough looking at you
she will fall in love with every little inch of skin she paints
I am terrified
you are too good for me
we are too good to be pulling us down
People think
I am good at being alone
then
when I am alone
I scribble just how wrong they can get
