*In a moonlit night, where echoes fade,
Our hearts once danced, unafraid.

A love so pure, a fleeting spark,
Yet time has left its ghostly mark.

You loved me once, or so it seemed,
A wistful dream, a fleeting dream.

But seasons turned, and feelings waned,
Leaving only shadows stained.

The past still haunts with soft refrain,
A melody of joy and pain.

Though time moves on, my heart remains,
Ensnared by love, untouched by change.*

*I can hold my breath long enough under water, but I don't know how to swim. 

I have a fear of deep blue water.
I'm used to shallow ones where my feet can touch the ground, where I can leave whenever I feel cold or weary. 

Now—how did I end up diving so deep into the idea of you?*

*Like a ghost yearning to live once more,

I sit here like a shell of the deceased

wanting to feel my heart be so joyous again.*

*I was never good with words,
but the moment I laid my eyes on you,
my heart started beating mercilessly,
enough to break free from a cage I didn't know existed.

It wants to speak with you.*

*I reached out my hand to grab hers,
but she was too far away

—we were inches from each other,
but miles apart.*

And that’s how our story ended; even though “us” never existed, even though “ours” never happened.

I knew it wasn't the right time,
but I wish it was.
You were the right person; 
everything about it felt right.
Maybe you just made it feel that way,
or maybe it all just came together like this beautiful, perfect mess of a painting.
regardless, I wish it was.

*I tried to write down how i feel,

but ended up with an empty paper.

It was so accurate.*

Sitting under the moonlight,
I can't help but reminisce.
the memories I can't erase with the person I can't replace,
My mind was a maze.
lifted my head to take a gaze
but the moon was gone,
and it was the end.

I hate waiting,
but if you ask me to, 
heartily, I'll wait for you. 
I won't be blue, 
if it means being able to be with you.
