you are the only viable distraction left in my life, darling.

the ocean is achingly big but you know i'd cross it for you.

when you move, i could never define all that you are to me.

passed down like folk songs, the love lasts so long.

my name is whatever you decide, and i'm just gonna call you mine.

i'm not a very religious person but i do sometimes think god made you for me.

he got my heartbeat skipping down 16th avenue.

i wonder what it’d be like to be called yours, and to call you mine. would our names fit in each other’s mouth? would our love taste sweet on my tongue? would it burn in my throat? would we be too much to consume?

pretty boy, you did this with me boy.

loving him was never enough.

maybe i'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new.

he was sunshine, i was midnight rain.

got you wrapped my finger, babe.

loving him was red, burning red.

but i've had no love like your love.

i thank the universe all the time for letting me have you in my life.

to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed. you drew stars around my scars, but now i'm bleeding.

i'd love to, but only with you.

he was my darling: difficult, morose — but still my darling.

how i long to trace my lips on each vein that graces your hand.
