i wrote a song about you

I wrote a song about you, and I thought I'd always feel the way I did when I wrote that song.
But now I don't, and it's just...strange.
You didn't do anyhting to me. You're still the same person you always were.
Maybe I'm the different one.
Now I know I wasn't in love.
It was just a crush.
A passing crush.
I feel sad talking like that about you.
But it's true.
I wrote a song about you months ago, on June 8th, before I went away to camp and it changed my life, before I started 7th grade.
I thought I'd always feel the way I did when I wrote that song.
But now I don't.
Now I've changed.
Now I am a new person--
well, a different version of me.
And that's okay.
I wrote a song about you four months ago.
I called it "Drifting Away."
Now, I am no longer drifting.
My feet are planted firmly on the ground.
I know who I am.
I can do this.
I am happy.

(this isn't exactly a poem, kind of just a jumble of mixed emotions, but you can think of it whatever way you like)

  • Stained-glass girl

    you should be an image in stained-glass windows

    the same ones you trace with your eyes every sunday

    while hymns echo in your ears, words

    you've known so long you forget the meaning. 

    or you belong in a portrait

  • Lavender and Gardenias

    Her room smelled of lavender and gardenias

    As we lay under silky rays of sun

    And danced around the truth in long, snaking sentences,

    Words falling over one another until they

    Became nothing, only syllables

  • nevermind, then.

    and the pale pink is fading from the morning sky

    the same way the words from the song i sang about you

    under my misty-cold breath

    died on my lips. i wonder if i would've waited forever,
