Should've Written It In Pencil

I should've written it in pencil

I should've known it couldn't last.

Should've told it to a page in an in-between

Far from permanence.

I should've written it in erasable graphite

Should've whispered it to no one

Should've kept this secret to myself

Instead of letting it be told.

I should've kept this forbidden nothing-something

Locked away in my heart.

I should've said nothing and just stayed silent.

I should've written it in pencil

And spoken far more quietly;

I should've known better than to shout

Loudly of my dreams.

a reflection
a redemption

very very platonic of course
you're my big brother.

through first loves
and forbidden loves
and grass in the summer
and crunchy chips
