6/23/2016 0 Comments new poem up!we’ve known each other for so long that when you touch me,
the goosebumps on my arms wake up like they’re saying hello to an old friend. it’s like going to you is a regular doctor’s appointment where you shoot me up with your kisses & i transform from mr jekyll to dr. hyde my friends and parents notice they ask me if i’m high again. do you want to know something funny? my mom thinks you’re out of my league i think you can fly & i can lift a car over my head (leagues don’t exist) you are > than a friend to me & i don’t want you to worry about what i said about jumping from his arms to yours it’s not like that it’s not like that (& this is not a lie i’m telling myself) i know you’re leaving but i know you won’t forget me because the times i slapped you with a goodbye and tried to heal it with a HJ are still glued in your memory just like they are in mine Here is what i think of you: Five “good morning beautiful” texts Ten wet muddy slimy fingers The same ten fingers drawing roads in my hair Three “is this okay”s Two knocks on a door One arm wrapped around my shoulder One drive to a dream house in the night One beach-bleached head; one ambiguous mess of waves One night that pulled me in; one kiss that drove me deeper One boy; one girl, just the Two (of us.) Tell me, Do you still want me?
