Remember Me

I hope you remember me fondly,

How I loved the rain, 

And told you it made me think of you,

How I loved to see you eat,

Because I finally found someone who ate faster than me

I hope you remember how good I was to you,

Let me be the minimum in every man you love,

Perhaps its my narcissism,

Perhaps I really loved you,

Nonsensical, non-judgmental, unconditional

As I walk away,

I look back to all the things we shared,

They were magical for me, 

You were everything that I loved,

But utmost love meant setting you free

More

I need to talk to you,

Deeper conversations,

Witnessing each other’s stories unfold,

Laden with promises of fidelity,

Be it empty words,

Or blatant lies to feed our egos,

I need more :(

I wonder

How does it feel to be your priority,

To be the last person you thought of at night,

And the first name you whisper in the morning, 

To be missed when we are apart,

Where hello is waited on,

And goodbye is dreaded upon,

I wonder how does it feel,

To be loved by you. 

I wanted to get you flowers today

I wanted to get you flowers today,

As you took a big step heading a new way, 

But I didn’t.

Because I am afraid you would hate them,

Or maybe because I just shouldn’t, 

So instead I kept my boundaries,

Saying the moon is pretty tonight,

Because in poems its a clear confession,

But you wouldn’t know that,

The little small braveries,

Small courage I pulled in your plain sight,

So instead I write my feelings down,

Hoping that one day you’d find them,

And knowing you were my love’s anthem

Good morning!

Wake up feeling fresh,

Clean up the house, 

Throwing out the trash,

Watching the clouds swim by,

Rays of sunshine peeking through,

Draw the curtains, 

Oh the sky so blue,

Saying to myself “What a view!”

A cup of iced coffee,

Two slices of toast,

And then a warm bath,

Smell of fresh rose,

Warm towels to dry my skin,

Put on some clean clothes,

Lovely weather,

The world glows

Dreams and Desires

Let me in,

Don’t let me go, 

Tell me I’m the one, 

Say that love will grow 

Coordinating Feelings

The way you smiled with your eyes,

You pursed your lips to hold your thoughts,

Cupped your mouth with your hand when you laugh,

You touched my arm to get my attention,

Which was already fully yours

You told me to not give you more power over me,

But how could I, a mortal man, resist giving his all,

To those brown eyes, that beautiful smile, 

The gentle touch of your soft soft skin,

And the sweet kisses you planted on my chest 

I wish I could tell you that I love you,

But I know by doing so I would lose you,

You are afraid of disappointing me,

Why does it matter when everyone else has?

At the very least you made me happy

I don’t want us to end,

We coordinate our lives together better than anyone can,

But if it does happen, I’d welcome it with open arms,

I don’t mind being the man that could’ve been,

And you my love that should’ve been.
