i am senseless
my body full of happy storms and warm oceans
making boats crash and skies fall
but i am okay for now
there's a boy whose smile is bright and he tastes like stardust and staying up all night
rolling down streets and looking at christmas lights, sitting on rooftops, making promises,
theories buzzing in our heads about how the world was made and how long it takes to make it to forever
we hold hands and he keeps talking
but i am stuck, frozen in place as that word echoes in my head like a scream against a cliff side
his eyes are the colour of the sea and mine are the colour of the sand and he always tells me what he's thinking—i wonder what i would do without him.
i guess i'll know soon.
forever isn't so far away.
