romantic

i hate valentine's day:

i used to be a hopeless romantic

and maybe that's why i want to hide

in a corner, staying unnoticed. 

 

i love valentine's day:

i used to love chocolate box

and now I only see the irony

that I cannot stomach it. 

 

i don't want you to like me

because I want you to talk to me just to talk to me

not because you want to be together,

so please say you didn't get me that valentine. 

 

i'm falling for that girl again

the one who continues to hate me,

i want her to know I didn't give her that anonymous note:

things shouldn't be complicated. 

 

i don't want anything romantic

and I continue to hate this day,

but i'm selfish and only want affection

but i'll push everyone away.

    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,
