The Girl with the Polaroid in her Phone Case

The girl with the Polaroid in her phone case

is the one I want to kiss.

The girl with the Polaroid in her phone case

doesn't even know I exist. 

 

The girl with the headphones that mess up her bangs

sits just across from me. 

The girl with the headphones that mess up her bangs

is the only one I see. 

 

The girl who likes to mutter lyrics under her breath

causes me to search for the songs every morning. 

The girl who likes to mutter lyrics under her breath

makes my day less and less boring. 

 

The girl who reads history books for fun

makes my heart flutter every day. 

The girl who reads history books for fun

has me laughing as she runs away. 

 

Because that girl likes to run

from things she doesn't like. 

That girl agrees when people say

she'll kill them out of spite. 

 

And that girl doesn't care

What other people think. 

She likes to stare out at her phone

and she doesn't even blink. 

 

The girl who is always busy,

The girl who is never late,

The girl who ignores my texts,

That girl and I are the same.

    We run back to your house,

    The lights are still on,

    And they cover your freckled face,

    Like it's the sun.

     

    The grass brushes our feet,

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    We sit out on the sand,

    The fog covers the sky,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

  • observation i

    We stand on the dock,

    The sun has set,

    But I can see your happiness 

    Even in the dead of night.

     

    The streetlight's on,

    The metal is all rusted

    And covered in salt,
