At first, you were a secret. An unintentional secret. Simply a name in my phone, not yet a person to me. I’d let my mind wander about meeting you. When, if, where. Who you’d become to me. If anyone at all. I told no one of your existence because I was so afraid that this … Continue reading but i told the stars about you

where we’re at
Where are you at? I find myself asking that question so often now as I continue to try to avoid thinking about where life is going to leave us in the future. With winter coming, I have no idea where we’ll be. I know we’ll effectively be long distance, that’s for sure. Does that mean … Continue reading where we’re at
are you falling too?
You saw me before I saw you. I jaywalked across Sheridan Ave; you watching me while I was blissfully unaware of my surroundings. And then we saw each other, and you came to me and matched my pace and we took a walk that started this all. Something that I wasn’t sure would be anything … Continue reading are you falling too?
23rd of June
I want to flash forward. I want to know what the universe has planned for me, you, us. Will we be an us? I don’t know quite what we are right now. Talking but not dating but also too much not to be nothing. I feel like I know you, but I don’t “know” you … Continue reading 23rd of June

While that in itself is crazy to think, finally letting you go for good has changed so much for me. I never thought I would … Continue reading To Fall in Love Again
the silence of your heart
“I’m scared to break down this wall. I feel like there are things I want to say but can’t.” “You can tell me anything.” This was the conversation I started that made both of us question it all. And I keep circling back to the fact of – should I have said something? Would it … Continue reading the silence of your heart
All the Things I Could Say but Don’t
I’m not sure if you’ll read this. On the off chance you do, you’ll know who you are. I’m not writing for any particular reason – I think you and I are in a good place right now. But I could be wrong, I’m really never quite sure. You keep me wondering a lot of … Continue reading All the Things I Could Say but Don’t
Charmspeaking; the things you learn
I came across a poem today. So Close, So Far by Adeline Whitmore What a terrible thing it was To have been So close To you And now Here we are So far apart I wonder If it would’ve been better To have never felt Your love at all. To me this struck a chord: … Continue reading Charmspeaking; the things you learn
Salmon, cucumber, avocado.
The sushi stares back at me eagerly awaiting to be chosen out of the plastic takeout container. Approximately five minutes ago, I slid on my ankle-high, knit snow boots, trudged outside in the frigid air without a coat, and went on a treasure hunt to find the delivery man. Five minutes before I ended up … Continue reading Salmon, cucumber, avocado.
