A/N: have you seen the emperor's new clothes music video oh my god {heroes always get remembered, but you know legends never die}
yes anyways hi i haven't posted a story in like ages lmao
thanks a lot marching band... i also got into women's ensemble and chamber choir at my high school, so i guess that's pretty good! haha.
anyways here's not a story (bc i have no free time) but a poem! context (if you want to read it): this poem was written last night after i left my boyfriend-but-not-really's house (i say boyfriend-but-not-really bc i was laying on him and had my head on his chest and he looks down and goes "so are we, like, dating?" and i was like bitch bc we've literally been acting like a couple for a month but we haven't made anything official). we watched back to the future (fitting for back to the future day) and of course we didn't really watch the movie too much but we cuddled and i remember resting my head on his chest and his heart started pounding and it reminded me of how he's not just the loud band kid or the quiet guy listening to music in the back of the classroom, that he's a person i truly care about and is smart and funny and so much more than that. 2009!Phan i guess, highschool!AU, Dan and Phil are young angsty teenagers, Dan's over at Phil's house. enjoy!

to rest my head on your chest with a sigh
and close my eyes and lay easy
and let the dim light of the room
sculpt our bodies tangled together
was to hear your heartbeat
the small drum upon your ribcage
binding you ever so tight to me
and hearing your heartbeat made me feel wonderful
because such an intimate thing as a heartbeat
not romantic or sexual
but to listen to the body live
to remember that you are more than how your friends perceive you
or how your teachers perceive you
or how your parents perceive you to be
is to remember that
you are more than the negativity
you are the beauty rising and flourishing around you
curling around us in an aura of peace
you are the stars in the sky that shed light at night
and you are the music whistling through the trees in the glen
past the fence, behind the undergrowth.
but most importantly:
you are you
and I have never found such a creature
as magnificent or mysterious
or with such a heartbeat
that races as quickly
as you.
