"Sometimes I really believe it, that I am going to save my life a little."
Mary Oliver, from section 4 of "The Return," What Do We Know: Poems and Prose Poems (Da Capo Press, 2002)
i forgot what it was like to have someone on my mind. to day dream about them in the middle of class, blocking out lectures on the decline and fall of the english major with ideas of what our first kiss would be like. how did you, my love, become so entangled in my thoughts. i had gotten so great at not catching feelings. burned into my mind that no one would ever deserve me, that falling for someone now-a-days is a waste of time. but you make me weak. you matter to me in a way others don’t. you make me want to rethink my views on morden love. with you i want to give it a shot.
