I dont know what this is--

all these poems i've made about you

these posts that i shouldn't post but i do;

these indescribable emotions that bubble up inside of me

I try so hard to push down;

you bring them out of me


It's hard being strong

not letting people see the weak side of me

it's also hard being vulnerable

but when im with you

I feel free

I feel bare

and i want more

i want you


youll probably never see this

ill never let you


you frustrate me so much

with all your little jokes

That make me want to laugh and hit you at the same time

in which i do

You're always putting me on the inside of the road

With you on the out

and you know how much it pisses me off

Because you know i can take care of myself

you take care of me anyways

The way you hold me

The way you listen and remember and ask

How you put your hand on my thigh when youre driving

How you look at me

The fucking words that come out of your mouth

that are cemented into my soul

And when you're not touching me

i want to touch you

and I don't just mean in a sexual way

that's what scares me most of all


It's not that you only intrigue me anymore

It's that i see you, all the good and all the unknown

and i want to embrace it with open arms

i want to see you when the sun is out

not just when the stars are

I want to go places with you

Discover even more about you than i did before

I want to see your smile

Hear your laugh

Keep trying to figure out what the green in your eyes mean

And all this is scary


You can't know these things

I wish you could

I really do

But i want you so fucking happy

not only when you're by yourself either

Because i see you and i see good

A good soul that deserves more than a lonely home

or me--

a broken one


ive tried being with other guys

and i cant because im thinking of you

if it might hurt you

but you said you dont care what i do so i try to keep that in mind

and then you go and make one of your sassy ass comments

to go hang out with that military guy

you like it rough im sure he could assist you

I wanted you to


we cant have each other i know

and god, can i hear you now

i'll break your heart

which makes me think,

please break it because i dont feel much

when im not running off a caffeine high

except when im with you

"I don't want you to go."

I begged you not to go and I begged you to stay.

"We all have to do what we don't want to, that's what being an adult is," you said.

and then you added, "maybe in another lifetime but ill miss you."

Why not now?


and ew ew ew i hate this

these feelings i cant describe

these feelings i cant tell anyone

but god when im with you

when im with you it feels so right

is that wrong of me to say?

when you kissed me that night and i saw the look in your eyes

the regret you said you didn't have

I knew id keep it all a secret because im falling for you--

I like you--

I have so much care for you in my heart

that i dont want to be more trouble than what im worth

but sometimes i wonder,

do i fight for you

do I tell you to pick me

not her

something ill never do

am i even worth it

you'd say no

So ill save myself the pain 

and you the trouble

but I want you to know that you're with it

you already knew that though


Youre right when you said i shouldn't be able to make you feel this way

but i did

Now im gone

I promise i wont return
