The Cute-Awkward Dates

Our sweaty palms

hold each others tightly,

while my converse

stick to the soda and

butter-covered floor.

I think I can hear

your heart racing,

I wonder if you can hear mine

racing in my chest.

My mind races

and my heart picks up speed

when you glance at me.

Though an action film

plays in front of us,

I can't keep my eyes off of you

and the way your eyes look

as they'd dart around the screen,

absorbing every detail.

You glance at me

every once in a while,

as if checking to make sure

I was still there.

A small smile

colors your face

when I'm still there.

We both reach

into the popcorn bucket

at the same time,

our fingers brushing

causing our simultaneous blushes

and burst of giggles

at the cliche,

as we're shushed by the lady

behind us.

Every date feels like the first with you.

"I'll Be There"

Everyone always says "If you ever need me, I'll be there." But when I do need someone, when I crying my eyes out in the corner thinking of bringing the blade out once again, when I can't find the motivation to get out of bed, when nothing feels right and all I want to do is cry and have someone tell me it's okay, nobody's there. Never. So how am I supposed to believe you when you say "Trust me, I'll be there no matter what. All you have to do is call.", but when I do call, you're busy or ignore the ringing? How am I supposed to tell you when something is wrong when you never listen for the goddamn ringing?

Everything I Want

You are my everything. Don't say that I'm just one of your many others. Not when I have ripped my heart out of my chest and put it in your hands after hiding it behind miles of concrete walls for so long. Don't tell me I'm replaceable when you're the only person I want, when you're all I see. Please please don't tell me that I love you more than you love me. I can't handle that again... You are my everything Please say I'm your everything, too...

Last Summer

Do you remember last summer when we explored parts of the city we grew up in but never saw? When we had picnics in the park looking for faeries under the mushrooms and danced in the suns rays, oblivious to the people watching? When we went swimming in the sweltering heat? The cold refreshing water and the smell on sunscreen. The snowcone battle that you won by pushing me into the pool. When we kissed goodbye on the roof of the tallest building in our city before leaving our separate way? Do you remember the tears and our embrace neither of us wanted to end? Do you remember the salty lips and desperate eyes? Do you remember how you promised to love me forever? Forever is over and done- ripped apart by your tongue. Makes me wonder how this summer will be. It'll be hard to compare to the adventures and love of the one before.
