My Ways to Feel

Posted on by [email protected]

A glance,
A touch,
A greeting

To breathe in the same sights,
Experience the same sensations,
To be next to you
without saying a word –

It’s exactly where I want to be.

Expecting,
Wanting,
Dreaming

Constantly thinking
about what to do next,
Shaping our futures, together
or on my own;
Wanting to use the same blanket
so that no space remains –

It’s exactly what I want to do.

Guessing,
Surprising,
Delighting

Hoping you will like
what I planned –
Do you welcome
what you see?
Let’s go and get
what we don’t need –

It’s exactly what I want to hear.

Our routine,
Our rituals,
Our memories

Whether it’s planning them
or thinking about them,
Making ambitious plans,
Dreaming for us
And the days to follow –

It’s exactly what I want to create.

A shared look,
A shared thought,
A shared silence

Knowing what to get
before the words arrive,
How to act
when unsure,
Or to do what’s best –

It’s exactly what I want to protect.

Cherished,
Wanted,
Treasured

Accepting all flaws,
Bearing the pain
to spark that smile,
The twinkle in the eyes,
glistening from our shared emotions –

It’s exactly what I want to feel.

When Forever Ended

Posted on by Jonathan

Day turned into night–
Your warm embrace suddenly turned cold,
And never saw the shadow of the sun

Until forever ended,
You were my safe place,
Calm in a noisy world,
The harbor where my heart
Rested;

You were home,
Not four walls, a roof and doors,
But arms that soothed,
Eyes that saw everything, like window glass, never judged,
A voice that sang love songs,
Legs that never walked away.

But now,
Now, the silence screams,
louder than a music hall, 
Drowning out a thunderstorm; 
Our laughter– once song–
Echoes in my ears;
Even if I tried to forget, 
I couldn’t, I danced to the tune. 

Every morning, I wake up to the ache,
of remembering you’re no longer here.
No longer the home that brings peace, joy, and hope.
No longer the future so bright.
Losing you feels like
A wound that won’t heal.
Maybe it will– tomorrow, or someday.

Now I’m left picking up pieces
of a forever that promised to stay forever
Just maybe, 
My love remains, quiet, and invisible,

But still burning softly,
in those warm corners of my soul.
It will remain till it fades away, forever.

Whispers To My Starry-Eyed Crush

Posted on by Jonathan

There’s no time I can imagine myself not thinking, 
Of the “New Girl” euphoria theme song not ringing. 
Every time I close my eyes I’m daydreaming, 
‘Cause I would never be the person I was without 
Your human being. 

Pinky promise, don’t disappear? 
I know I might be your biggest fear, 
I know I don’t make things kind of clear, 
But I would hate to admit, I shall be a lover to volunteer. 

Funny how sometimes you just find things 
And I didn’t even need to find our invisible string, 
You steal my words from my mouth like I’d never exist, 
As soon as I fall into, my heart won’t resist. 

The fact that you were born in the same constancy, same instancy, 
Makes me want to have my fingers crossed- for me to be one who is hurt, 
And you know that my eyes aren’t able to not flirt. 

I sound a little bit exaggerated, 
It’s because you make me sound so overrated,

My laughs just float when I’m around you, 
Making me nervous to imagine- 
You were the person I was  
Looking through. 

It sounds clingy, 
However, can you be my sweet nothing?
My hands never lie, 
Like I would never be by your side, be aside.
