Sometimes you can't
Sometimes you just can't.
The hardest part is accepting it,
At least for me.
Accepting that you won't be able to
Carry every load
Be every version of yourself
Always be the best
Meet every expectation.

The way
My fingers know the way
When my mind does not
I will overthink it
And misstep
Hit the wrong key
Cringe
And try again
If I let my fingers take the reins
I think we’d have something

And
I opened my window
and
It smelled like summer
and
The cool night air
Wasn’t cool enough
and
It felt like summer
and
That’s when it hit me
That these days go by

Is it
I don't want to lead
I do it naturally
Can I stop now
Is it enough
Is it enough for you
For them
To not always be
On top
All the time
Everyone
Looking to me
For examples

US
We laughed
We played
We had so much fun
We were
Always together
Always supportive
Brought the party
Wherever we went
We were
Fun
We were
Cool
We were

Dreaming
We were in Montreal
But this time you were there
And my friends
You said you liked my skirt
We got up from dinner
Everyone walked around
I walked close to you
Loves

When the boys grew up on sun and waves
The sun didn’t kiss these boys
It hugged them
The way you would with your best friend before
Leaving for a long time
It hugged them and
It made their skin the color of a caramel
And their hair like the sand

Grateful
I am grateful.
Grateful that three no-longer-kids,
Grown-up,Jobs-and-girlfriends-and-college boys
Are there for me
Have my back
Even though we haven’t talked for a while
Even though we live hours away

Young love
I remember that warm summer night,
we argued about who could jump farther off the swings,
we were only 14.
It down poured,
they didn't set the fireworks off,
you didn't care,
neither did I.

Is this lust?
Time slips away from us
My guard slips down
Her hands slips in my hair
And somehow I slip further out of love
I dream of her touch

Everything
I have the chance to do anything
not quite everything
but many things
and I don't know what I want to do.
I could be a writer
or start my own company
or be an Einstein-level mathematician
