Love

VHS Tape

You're the main character on the VHS tape of memories that plays through my head every night before I drift to sleep, rewinding it until you get lost in my dreams.

Clarity

Your smile and every moment we share together becomes a permanent vision in my head. Nothing has ever played more clearly in my head than the way my soul clings to every adventure we have traveled together. The minutes and hours we've spent raveled in each other's skin to the conversations we've carried. I care nothing more than to remember them exactly how they were, exactly how we were in the days we spent falling for one another. 

Luminescence

We were two lights, destined to make each other brighter. 

Dancing

Once a week, I'll go to bed with you on my mind,

The thought of us dancing fancies my life. 

Cabin

You make me feel like fabric checkerboards in a cabin, like one of those warm fall days and the way the air smells. It's like baking with Sinatra Christmas music. Like the highest mountain bluff you can climb to and catch the glimpse of the world at the perfect angle. You, make me feel at home

Scrabble

I've caught myself deeply thinking about the way your lips look and the way your smile changes every time I see it. Thinking about the brightness in your eyes and the books on your shelf. I think about the way you're completely imperfect but I've never felt so connected to anyone. From the way you giggle and the game of scrabble you beat me at, I think about the fact that I haven't ever wanted something so much. 

Saturn

She began falling for the guy who made her feel like the stars lived more than just in the sky, that they even lived inside of her.

Found

I felt lost in the sea and it was your voice that brought me back to shore.

Rooftop

Silhouettes on skylines with your fingers laced in mine, we witnessed the start of a storm but we were too caught up in each other to watch the end.

Nerves

You make me nervous, like an important interview I've always dreamed about.

Hands

I never cared much about my hands, until I held yours and realized mine were like sandpaper.

Lost

Let's turn our locations off and get lost in an adventure and each other's souls.

Lit

Meeting you was the match and every encounter we had was a log to the flame, keeping my soul aflame.

Wish

I wished for you on the stars that night. 

Christmas Sweaters

Tangled in ugly Christmas sweaters feeling like we were the hallmark movie. 

Lost Love

I always wanted to be in love, the kind of love that I felt when I was with you. That school girl crush when you remember every date like those little details you never wanted to forget, and it wasn't for the sake of remembering them but for remembering the memories just right. I wanted the love that made me nervous every time I'd see you and the love that made me smile thinking of your voice. Where your name popped up on my phone and the world dissolved around me for that quick message or hours long FaceTime. And after that love, the feeling I had with you, was crumbled making me feel like I wasn't enough, I broke. Being that kind of in love felt like a movie that just couldn't last long enough but it's ending was over sooner then I wanted it to be. And for a while, I forgot what being the main character felt like. 

Waking Up

I didn't know I'd wake up one day, ready to fall in love with you. 

Tinder

I see you in every swipe left trying to find someone to fill the void in the way you make me feel.
