Only You

Ok, had to do an epic love post today in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Also, my best friend sent me a collage of beautiful V-day images, so I felt the need to spread the love. Hope y’all are out there doing the same!

They Made A Statue Of Us

 

Thank you for the lovely messages! If you adored this post and would like more…simply search ‘romance’ or ‘couples’ in my wee search bar (unfortunately, searching for ‘love’ will bring up everything that I love; which is pretty much everything on my entire blog. Sorry guys, kinda wish I hadn’t done it that way now).

Phantasmagoria

Let’s lay beneath the waves and count the sand
So many are the breaths I spent…like dust beneath our nails
And now, and now the poems are cold and taste like salt
Our tears become the sea
There is a sea inside my heart,
Inside a bottle,
Belonging to the mountain that gave its life for glass.
What has become of all the children we had
Where do they rest their heads now when their parents have gone to seed…
When we trickle between the toes and into the bellies of the starfish
Do they write
Do they read
Do they love strangers that call our children wife
I will go on, and I know that you go on as you go
And on the way we go together beneath the waves
Let us count the sand
Tonight our children sleep beneath the stars and tomorrow they raise the sun again

To A Box Of Shirts

“You wear white shoes… I forget where I met you. I forget the first time I saw you naked. I forget what we fought about the weekend in April when we went to your parents.
I see your two front teeth when I drink milk. I remember how they hate the cold. I get a whiff of you the subway and cozy up to a warm stranger; just for a moment, just to be with you again. I have a single dress sock that was forgotten under the sink in haste. Sometimes I slip it on and wear it around under my boot all day. I imagine that I glow when I have this secret. I giggle periodically, envisioning how the sandwich artist at the deli would react if he knew I was wearing only one sock… and that it was a size thirteen, argyle, men’s dress sock.
Last night was Tuesday night, so I cooked lasagna. You know how I hate lasagna but we’ve gotten used to having it on Tuesdays after the gym. I find myself cooking it and leaving it on the counter to be devoured by the cats.
I got a call from your sister last week. She was wondering if I still had your box of summer clothes, and if she might have a few shirts for her boys. I lied and said I gave them away. She wouldn’t understand that I still need every single one of them; that I’m so afraid of the day they start to smell like me.
I forgot to remember where I met you…and now I can’t ask.”
