How does on miss something they’ve never had?
How can it cause such pain and a heart so sad?
Can you yearn for a heart you’ve never known?
Can you be buried in feeling not shown?
Do you overthink every lost chance?
Do you regret not choosing to dance?
Why must we crave the things forbidden?
Wy must the grief leave us here bedridden?
Wine is the best boyfriend.
It’s always there for you.
It puts a smile on your face.
It gets you all giddy.
It gives you a warm tingle.
It makes you laugh.
It’s supportive.
It wants to kiss your lips.
Has the ability to turn you on.
It can be sweet sometimes.
Always there for special occasions.
It will never leave you.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Oh, I have that candle,
and I”m sure you do too,
that reminds me of the good times,
that reminds me of you.
When I inhale a deep breath
I feel the warmth that makes me smile
bringing me thoughts of those souls
that I haven’t seen in a while.
The soft hints of cinnamon
remind me of the many fun
carefree, late may days
in the park, under the sun.
The sugary smell of brown sugar
reminds me of your kind, gentle heart.
Your love, I can feel with me
even if death keeps us apart.
The soft scent of vanilla
brings me back to your little kitchen,
making blue blueberry muffins
that I haven’t tasted in God Knows when.
Oh yes I light that candle
and with it, I think of you.
I know I can’t see you yet,
but until then, this will do.
Little does she know
that he loves that soft pink glow
her cheeks get when he compliments her.
Little does she know
that his heart beats faster
when her lips curve into that smile.
Little does she know
that he swears he could gaze
into her ocean blue eyes for eternity.
Little does she know
that his whole day brightens
every time he hears that laugh.
Little does she know
as she turns her head away
he wants to be with her
every single wonderful day.
There are so many things
I wish I could say but I can’t
so I’m forced to type them
and confine all my kind thoughts
to a 13 by 8 inch screen
for just a few dozen people
to glance upon.
Oh, what a shame that is.
Because how do I portray to the world
the light that is emitted each time you smile?
Or the way the world grows brighter
with every one of your laughs?
Or that life with you introduces
more colors that the human mind
can comprehend?
It’s simple.
I can’t
and what an injustice that is.
I’m a hopeless romantic,
empahsis on the hopeless.
I’d like to say I’m more
on the romantic side,
but who would be there
to confirm my alibi?
No one, like always.
So all those dreams
and hidden smiles
and contained laughs
and audible sighs
will just have to wait
because who would be there
to enjoy what I have to
offer to the world?
No one, like always.
2066.9
the mountain air is quite crisp
and the smell of maples and pine
fills their lungs with something brand new.
At 2066 high
where the land meets the bright blue sky
and birds dare to spread wings and soar,
where they can see everything.
At 2066 feet
two young hearts begin to beat,
for perhaps the very first time,
together as love starts to grow.
Up at 2066,
above the crunching of dry sticks,
you can hear two souls come to see
without each other, they can’t be.
Wouldn’t it be nice if WebMD
could diagnose a condition called
falling in love?
Imagine doing a Google search
for “signs and symptoms
for having a soulmate”
likes it’s some disease or infection
that could be easily distinguished.
What kinds of things would be on this list?
Raging hormones? Increased laughter?
Pain in facial muscles from smiling so much?
Increased sweating? Risk of pregnancy?
Who is to say how to tell if someone
is the one you are meant to spend your life with?
Personally, I’d be more intersted in a
possible treatment option plan
because advice on how to proceed
when you’re pretty sure you’ve got
could probably come in handy.
A “talk to your doctor” would
not do a whole lot of good.
I wish this had a few great
home remedies.
Sorry mom, but I don’t think
ginger ale will be fixing this one.
Only in telenovelas
do hearts start to glow
when love is being felt.
Wouldn’t life be great
if we could see every time
we make another person’s heart glow?
Just take it.
Take my hand.
It’s right there
just waiting for you.
What’s the harm?
You’ve already taken
over my whole life.
You might as well
take my hand too.
