tysm for 2.7k reads y'all crazy!!!!!!!!! i love this one-- enjoy :3

---

i've seen the

edges

of the world

dark, huddled corners

where my fingers

brushed over

cobblestones

my toes sunk into sand

my face was kissed by

sunlight

and soaked in the

salty bath of the ocean

and i'd travel to them

again

if i could do it with you

despite the fact that i

don't open books i've

already read

and stay away from

movies

that have previously

passed

blurring on the

blue-light screen of my

laptop

in the late hours of the

night

i'd take you to

paris

where we could dance

in falling leaves

and find ourselves at

the top

of the eiffel tower

holding hands

i'd take you to

london

where you'd marvel

at the cog-work clock-work

insides

of big ben

i'd take you to sunny

florida

and chilly maine

half way around the world

and back again

i'd show you

every last spot

in the world

that ever meant

anything to me

where coy glances were

once exchanged

and subway tickets were

munched down by

machines that resembled

the cookie monster

to a five-year-old girl

with black pigtails

and big eyes

i'd paint you in amsterdam

and bike with you in

naples

i'd take you to

japan

where we could walk under

cherry blossom snows

i'd leave with you on a

big white sailboat

and at the end of it all

we'd find ourselves

at home

in silly silences and

honeyed squares of

light

that the windows cast

on worn wooden floors

and i might show you

all my favorite places

but i hope that

with me

will always be yours.
