Favorite Quote:
"Do I dare disturb the universe?" -T.S. Eliot


You wake up and its two A.M, but you don’t care,
You only think about what it would be like if you woke up next to her.
She’s the first thing on your mind.
Always and Forever.
You ask yourself as you pull back the covers, because you know you will never get back to sleep:
“Did she dream of me too?”
“Is she thinking of me now?”
“Does she know that I exist?”
Because you want her to-no-need her to.
Always and Forever.
You make your morning coffee, but you water it down until only a little hint of taste remains,
She’s all the excitement you need running through your veins.
Always and Forever.
You pull on your clothes, wondering if she will like the itchy shirt you wore just for her,
Because hers is the only opinion that matters.
Always and Forever.
You walk out the door thinking about what it would feel like to kiss her soft lips goodbye,
Because those are the only lips you’ll ever want.
Always and Forever
You walk out to your car quickly, because it means the pain and loneliness will finally be over,
Because you want to-no-need to, see her.
Always and Forever.
As you drive you hurriedly run a red light because you’re not paying attention
Because you would run any red light for her, even if it’s because she’s just on your mind,
And because you need to tell her what’s on yours. Now.
Always and Forever.

He’s the first thing on your mind.
Always and Forever.

“Did he dream of me too?”
“Is he thinking of me now?”
“Does he know that I exist?”
Because you want him to-no-need him to.
Always and Forever.
You make your morning coffee, but you water it down a lot until only a little hint of taste remains,
He’s all the excitement you need running through your veins.
Always and Forever.
You pull on your clothes, wondering if he will like the itchy shirt you wore just for him,
Because his is the only opinion that matters.

Always and Forever.
Two cars, both running red lights, crashed directly into one another at five A.M Tuesday morning
The male and female drivers are both in a comatose condition.
Always and Forever.

Irony can be beautiful and terrible at the same time. I think this piece captures that.
