Company.

Why didn’t the silence scream for you like she did for me?
Does she keep your heart in better company?

Stab.

I find myself growing envious
of the question “where is Aly?”
because it gets to stab you in the chest.

In silence, I am steeled solid.
But then I hear your name,
& suddenly I’m in so many pieces that I’ve lost count.

What if I wanted to know your heart so badly
that I forgot about my own?

You are worth the wait..
But not a single second longer.

You are worth loving.
& someday someone will choose that over everything else.
To someone, you are the ONLY option.

All this time,
we were meant to sink heart-deep into a relationship
where someone loves the other more than humanly possible.

There is a fine line between
holding on
& squeezing too tightly.

Love is a fragile, beautiful fragment of magic.
& we are captivated.

In case your judgement wavers:
If someone hurt you; broke your heart
Don’t let them get their hands on you again.
