Today I Love a Girl

Today I am just a man, 
In love with a girl. 

She has eyes that glimmer, 
Like emerald water. 

And she smells sweet, 
Like lemons and fruit. 

She loves eating pomegranate seeds, 
And talking about her favorite books 
While sitting in the grass
That always leaves stains on her pants. 

She knows me, 
And keeps my secrets in her heart 
Next to hers. 

And deep down she does love me, 
But not how I love her.

    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
