how heavy is your heart today?
the same weight of him.
TWELVE.
everywhere and everything.
do you know
i search for you in everything?
i find you in my papers for classes,
remembering the way
your handwriting looked perfect
every damn time
you wrote my name and yours together.
i find you in my friends,
whenever they laugh at my jokes,
and i wish to hear yours echo with theirs.
i find you in my car,
where we shared kisses
and not so discreet glances.
i find you at the beach,
remembering the way
we laid on the sand for hours,
just looking at the stars that shone
in our eyes.
i find you in my makeup,
and how your hand fit far more perfect
stroking my cheek than my blush does.
but
when i searched for you in the crowd,
roaming my eyes to meet yours,
your eyes traveled to your past.
you searched for her.
because truthfully,
i could never hold your past,
nor your future,
not even the slightest second
of the present.
and so,
the only thing i can hope
is that she yearns for you,
as you do for her.

Poetrywill you hold my heart? rini's heart could one day weigh of gold the rock solid material gravitating your shoulders low, or the next, weigh of feathers because her touch was nearly alike.
