I love you so much
I learned to say
your name
before mine.
If we reach
the brink of the void,
and if you jump,
I'll follow.
I love you so dearly.
We're close.
Why does the distance lie?
And every pic
is a shortcut to our childhood
when the simple things
were what mattered.
And jumping in the rain,
crying from laughter.
Why did we stop?
Why didn't anyone tell us
that time gives no warning
That growing up is a trap?
We went on growing up
without realizing
it was going to hurt.
Surviving
being an adult
I don't want to be.
Today my blood calls out.
My soul laments to me
that my hands
didn't know how to hold onto
the moments
that will never come back.
I so badly miss
the times there were no
empty seats at the table,
when chocolate
could cure our sadness;
carrying the weight of the world
that is now heavy;
shooting the moon
with water balloons;
giving flight to paper airplanes.
Why didn't anyone tell us
that time gives no warning
That growing up is a trap?
We went on growing up
without realizing
it was going to hurt.
Surviving
being an adult
I don't want to be.
Today my blood calls out.
My soul cries out to me
that my hands
didn't know how to hold onto
the moments
that will never come back.
I love you so much
I no longer want
to live any more of my past
and I'll savor
every second I have by your side.
Growing up with you
is the best thing
that's ever happened to me.
