SUN SETTING

xx.

walking under the cold spanish skies, breath
of winter an exhale of my lungs,                  i saw you. (a fleeting brilliant moment)

pale pink dawns streaked through your hair and eyes that lead to the
to an infinite gaze of kindness. (at least that's what i thought when my eyes caught
on your dazzling blue ones) (i tried looking down, i failed, you were breathtaking)

a moment later you were pointed out to me (i didn't have the heart to tell her i already saw you)
we exchanged smiles, in and and out both ways (when i entered the crowded building of excited bodies all saw in the spaces between was you) i passed you by again, did i tell you how my heart kinda tore when i watched you climb into the yellow bus?

(i also kinda hoped that you'd ask for my number, such a cliche thought, but it spun past my head nonetheless. god i wished i wasn't such a shy creature in those moments.)
(then again, i wasn't going to see you again. what's the point?)
(hell, i didn't even know your name.)

still though, let me whisper you a few secrets.
one, i'm still thinking of the twinkle in your eyes and the galaxies that lied beneath.
two, i'm still counting the days since i last saw you (why couldn't we have spoken???)
three, i can't stop thinking of you (at this point I'm torturing myself, make it stop) (please don't)

but, alas, goodbye. i never knew you, but you intruded my thoughts nameless girl,
i think that warrants a farewell. (maybe someday we'll meet again. don't know where,
don't know when.)

— staring at the stars under spanish skies, my lungs exhale the last of you

A/N welcome to my twelve am extravaganza, where i binge write poetry and it somehow made me happy writing about tragedy. i am a sick human being. joy oh joy. well anyways, sorry for leaving tons of times without notice, i really am. you guys are amazing peeps from celestial entities who i've been blessed with by getting to know and while i can't promise it won't continue to happen, do know that i love you guys. (even if i don't know you very well)
