I could recognise you by touch alone
by smell; I would know you blind,
by the way your breaths came and your feet struck the earth
I would know you in death, at the end of the world
like I was torn apart from you the minute I was born

"yes I got your letter
yes I'm doing better
yes I know it's over"

summers are for / sharing beds in the train / because our limbs are young and blue / spilling conversations over the landline / laughing till your bellyaches / peeling an orange in the lunch breaks / in perfect halves / chew and swallow in silence with her / taste the same thing in the same moment / something so ordinary seems beautiful / I'd like it to be eternal / we'll be
friends forever / transcend time and space / confess all our secrets / hormonal cycles sync / and we've just met / but I've known you so long /
let's inscribe this love in slam books / friendship bracelets and epitaphs

I'll save you a seat on every bus ride / I'll keep you close / I'll die for you in a heartbeat / because nothing compares / it's a cut that always bleeds /I'll choose you over and over / I'll never speak to you again / I'll never recall your face anymore / I'll say your name / in hopes you'll hear it in the stars / as we slowly disintegrate / must I rain down these walls / for closure / must I wreck all my pride / for closure / must I be a pest to my nemesis / for closure/ must I be alone in all these hard feelings won't you write me back / won't you say you remember / won't you wish me the best / won't you simply say goodbye / like strangers do
