Everywhere I look, I see the things I asked for. Life feels the most whole it has ever felt even when I’m shattering. Everyone gives me something and I only hope that I’m returning the favor, love the confirmation when I do. I’m trying to remind myself, continually, to not get swept back into the system I finally broke free from.
Stories
Sat next to a woman
a woman never stopped talking
I heard a story about love
love is sometimes scary
so scary sometimes, we push
I heard a story about loss
pushing away, temporarily
sounded like a story about me
right now, love is scary
my eyes welled with tears
a tear dripped down my face
crackling voice
I heard a story about a guy
who couldn’t live without a girl
just couldn’t stay away
I was a girl
listening to a story
thinking about a guy
that even when I’m scared
even when I want to run
the way this love scares me
I know I’d never let it go
sometimes I feel like I can’t live without him
every hour is too long to stay away
I never want to rush things, miss anything
but I would be lying
if I said I didn’t want to wake up next to him
every single day
I listened to a woman
that couldn’t stop talking
and realized I wasn’t alone
She thanked me for talking
but helped me beyond words
