don't give up on me

two / all of these stars

'you're on the other side, as the skyline

splits in two. 

i'm miles away from seeing you.

i can see the stars, from america.

i wonder, do you see them too?' - ed sheeran

(dedicated to foreversmilin for story inspiration!!)

i get off my flight with a heavy heart.

i try my hardest to brush off that unshakeable feeling

or heartbreak, longing and desperation.

i long to see my family again.

to see my sister's smile light up the whole room

to ruffle my brother's brown hair

to see my mother wash the dishes

to see my father's four-lined forehead.

i long to be back in high school,

with melodramatic girls

and cliche love stories.

but most of all,

i long to be back in your arms.

i long to see your green eyes and your dumb quiff that i find annoying.

i long to make fun of how you have an alpaca as your screensaver.

i long to mess up your room.

i long to do all those stupid little things we do that makes life less dull.

you have turned my life from a sketch into a watercolor painting

dabbing colors here and there to cover up all the insecurities.

i knew what love is because of you.

i knew how to be confident because of you.

and now

you're

you're gone.

now, i dream alone.

we may have an ocean between us,

but i know that we will survive through this distance that is keeping us

from each other.

i know, because

distance means so little

when someone means

so much.
