  • I think

    I think you make me really happy

    I think it’s sort of all-consuming

    I think I want to be with you every second

    Of every day

    I think maybe what keeps me up at night

    Is replaying you

    Replaying us

  • Together

    You’re different

    With all of us

    Versus just me.

    You’re different

    With a whole crazy friend group

    Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

  • People

    People want things from me

    This incredible group of people

    They want me to mediate

    To laugh

    To help them with x, y, and z

    They want me to come with them

    Pulling me in different directions constantly

  • Ad Astra

    Ad astra

    Latin for to the stars

    something that we've never done yet

    but we've gone near.

    We've never gone to the stars

    we've reached the not-quite-emptiness that surrounds them.

  • Anticipating

    I don't know what this is

    whether it's summer really sinking in

    or if it's something else

    something more

    something worse.

    I don't want to turn into this

    a puddle of negative feelings and boredom.
