I never thought I’d be counting down the hours to see you again.

and if the moon could talk

I wonder if he would tell the night
just how lovely she is
with all those stars shining bright

there is so much noise

the city never sleeps
and I long for just one day when everything is so quiet
you and I could hear the clouds move

the stars have died

and left their light to you
remember this when
you feel weak
and worthless
and blue

you don’t need to be anyone else

all that you are
is brighter than any star
 I know there isn’t a thing
I could say
to make the thoughts in your head
any easier
but I hope you know
that above all things
running through your head
sometimes it’s about
what runs through your heart instead
and if there’s anything I know
about the things inside
your heart
is that they are beautiful things
and strong things
and things that will always
be okay
and if the things in your head
seem a little messy
and the things in your heart
weight a little heavy
just know you’ll beat
all of these things
and I’ll always love you
even with all your things
 there goes the love of my life
passing by in my dreams
it’s been so long since I’ve knocked on his door
sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong
and I can’t sleep
and I can’t think
and I will keep driving this long road
until the darkness fades and the morning rises
only thirty more days and lonely nights in between
until I see him again
it’s been so hard
some days I can’t wake up
some days I fall apart
but he has never left my dreams
there goes the love of my life

We are standing at the edge of the world and yet we still do not meet. You are
soaked in daylight and I am covered in night. My heart yearns for our eclipse.

Here is to tomorrow, bringing us one day closer to each other, until the day arrives
that we meet again. Midnight weighs heavy on my soul as the Earth folds into itself,
every fold bringing us closer together.

It’s midnight and I thought about

Boarding a plane and meeting you in the city
I thought about stitching you into my skin
So you’d be with me as I slept
I wish you were here
Or I were there
Because my heart caves in when I look at you
And it feels like your hands twist around
My ribcage
And take the air from my lungs
My head starts pounding
And I just want to kiss you
 It’s midnight
And I just want you

I will love you through all the miles and the thoughts late at night.
I will love you through every day and as the darkness turns to light.
It’s four o’clock in the afternoon and this is the hardest part.
But this is the way I love you, even if most days we are apart.

You take up all the space in my heart

And when you are not here,
I am jealous of the sheets that hold you,
Because I am kept awake by the distance that keeps us apart.
But when I am with you,
I can barely express how much I care.
So let’s just stay in bed all day
And I’ll play with your hair.
We can share every innocent dream and talk about all our fears. And I will run my
hands across your thighs and your hips.
I will kiss your forehead, your knuckles, and your lips.
Just tell me softly that you love me,
because when you said my name,
I swear my heart was never the same.

The words are melting in my mouth like snow and I like like I’m running on empty,
but there are only seventeen more days until you’re home.
