you just pulled
me onto this bench
and
made me dance
with you

and with time
and lack of space
we got closer


we got so close
that i had to
hold you
by the waist
so you wouldn't
fall off

how is it
that you
just don't see
what i feel
for you?

i barely knew
your name

but the way
you moved
and
sang along
with me

on this bench
in the rhythm
of the music

immediately
made me
like you

Maybe this something is his sweetness.
Maybe it’s the way he apologizes,
even though he hasn’t done anything wrong.

Maybe it’s the fact that he is really sorry.
Maybe it’s the way I can see it in his eyes.
His regret, his guilt. His honest.

But maybe only I see it.

here i am
writing
about love
although
i am just a child.

and what
can a child
possibly know
about love?

i am
listening to
my favorite songs

and you
sneak again
into my thoughts

and maybe

you are
listening to
your favorite songs
too

but i am sure
that i never
sneak into
your thoughts

did my brain
trick me
or
did your eyes
find me
the moment
i entered the room?

a stormy wind
howls
in the night

but it doesn't
bother me

because now
it kinda feels
like the world
shares
the storm
that weathers
inside of me

i want to know
all the thoughts
that rob your sleep
when you go to bed

i want to know
what you wish
you'd done better
in the past

i want to know
what you see
when you think
about your future

i want to know
all the fears
that lame you

i want to know
what makes you human

Maybe this something is in the way he makes you feel.
Maybe it’s the way he makes you feel part of his friends.
Like he really likes you.
Maybe it’s the way he makes you feel understood.

Maybe this something is his character.
Maybe it’s his diversity.
Maybe it’s the fact that he’s weird in a lovely way.
Maybe it’s the way he is caring and ready to help.
Maybe it’s the way he’s always in a good mood.
Maybe it’s the way his good mood is contagious.

Maybe this something is the fact that he’s just himself.
Maybe it’s the way he never pretends to be someone he isn’t.

I don’t know what is.
But there’s something about him.

i met
someone new

someone kind
and funny

and i was
wondering
if
maybe
my heart
starts moving on

what are
two drunken
laughing and
making nonsense
whilst
wearing sneakers
and walking
in the snow
around a lake
without
the lamps shining
and cold wind howling?

well,
definitely not
a good idea

but did
this night
make great memories?

definitely

focusing
on life lessons
lets you grow.
focusing
on mistakes
holds you back.
