i can see you
right across my garden
eye to eye
but you're still so far away
my mother said
"i am proud of you.
always doubting what you're told.
that's what makes you great.
always seeking out the truth."
she told me that after
i said i don't believe in god
that i don't believe in a reason
that i don't believe in destiny
that i only believe in you
i am in love
with all your characteristics
with all your peculiarities
with all your flaws
and i am thankful for something
that locked us both in this
big, big boat
i want to touch you
i want to breathe you
to find all your secrets
to share mine
but there's a glass between you
and me
like the last and first words of
sequels
bonding, bonding
though we were never meant to be
i will die and you will go on
shining, until all your light fades
and you crash, like all your friends
did
your bright green eyes analyzing
me
secrets screamed in our quiet
language
who knew that i'd fall in love
with a boy that could never respond
to me
