First, above all else; I hope you are well.
I hope you are happy
And cared for
And maybe even loved
The way I was meant to love you
The way I wanted to love you
The way I would have loved you
It’s midnight now
I’m holding your hand on a porch that hasn’t been built yet.
Standing by a tree not yet grown
I know someday is coming
Someday
But it’s midnight now
We're growing up, but not much
Our knowledge had just been hatched
Wisdom of a neophyte
Still lots of matches to ignite
“Almost”
An adjective meaning very near or not quite.
What a terrible word that holds a painful truth.
I dread these six letters, as anyone would.
I feel like I’m on the brink of something
Like I’m right on the edge
Like I’m right about to get to it
Like I’m right there on its tail
And I only have to reach my hand out
And take it...
Driving down the road at night
A deer jumps out in a fright
I stared at Death in this guise
And saw They have big doe eyes

A letter to my almost

" 15 minutes " He said to me eagerly
" A lot can happen in 15 minutes"
I knew what he meant but I told myself I wouldn't give in
He looked deep into my eyes. With his gorgeous brown eyes.
Skinny legs, a perfect hair is what they to see
A pretty face and perfect body,
The opposite of me.
The pressure to be perfect is slowly closing in.
When, when will all of this come to an end?
Sometimes
I think it'd be easier if you had died
Not because I want you dead,
Not because I hate you,
But because then maybe I'd have a reason.
I'd have a reason to avoid everyone you ever spoke to
