today i couldn't stop thinking of you
today was the day i dressed up as an introvert... a baggy black hoodie... sweat pants... cozy socks... and plenty of snacks as well as 'The Martian'... few words spoken at all...
i run barefoot, shoes at the door
i painted the night sky on our house banner... i couldn't stop thinking about what you might say with all your knowledge on it's look... with you infinite wisdom, staring out onto it longingly
the air so sweet, i gulp and gasp for more
today i wrote more stories in my mind, on paper, and on the web... i painted pictures in my head of what i wanted my future to look like... a steel pan or two in my apartment, covered with pastels... white, blue, lavender, and black... succulents and plants all over the apartment, looking out over a skyline of new england... my canvas bag with my laptop and essentials for school hanging next to my window sill couch...
a night so still, i dance, i soar
when nighttime comes, the apartment comes alive... the flicker of a laptop or tv screen, as well as fairy lights and soft whites fill the apartment with light... as if the stars light it up...
oh this is what i'm living for
i hope to God i wouldn't be alone in that apartment.
air so sweet - dodie
