Together

You’re different

With all of us

Versus just me.

You’re different

With a whole crazy friend group

Than you are when it’s us chilling in your basement watching Stranger Things 

Or playing flute in my room 

Or practicing for the spelling bee on your couch

Or going over a duet with your dad.

You’re different with me and honestly,

Honestly it’s good different,

I mean you know I’ll always love you

Infinity forever figures five and three

But you are so much more real

When you don’t have to be a certain way for the people around you

When you know it’s me and you know me

When it’s just us

You’re different

And you can talk to me

And I can talk to you

And this is the boy I fell in love with because

Because he was like this

With me

From day one and I don’t know why but I was too

And you’re different depending on who you’re with and so am I

But I think we’re a little happier

A little more ourselves

When we’re with each other

  • I think

    I think you make me really happy

    I think it’s sort of all-consuming

    I think I want to be with you every second

    Of every day

    I think maybe what keeps me up at night

    Is replaying you

    Replaying us

  • People

    People want things from me

    This incredible group of people

    They want me to mediate

    To laugh

    To help them with x, y, and z

    They want me to come with them

    Pulling me in different directions constantly

  • Childhood obsession

    A childhood obsession, sure.

    That's how it started.

    But it's all I am -

    It's who I am -

    It's the deepest

    Truest

    Version of myself I could possibly be.

    The notebook.
