We keep talking about this

and I understand where you’re

coming from, but sometimes

there’s something to be said

for nostalgia simply for

Nostalgia’s sake – it’s been

way too long since we’ve had

a 2am phone call, since the

tweety bird lighter got magically

swapped for a salmon one – and

 

I know you’re not one for color

you’d rather remember the vibes

or the quoteable things that will

more than likely make your poetry

more relateable to the average person

without losing your flaire. I’m not

an average person mind you

I am a long distance forever that you

have yet to admit to needing the same

way you are needed and I am a whisper

you will never lose to time or age and

there is something marvelous about

love like this – someday you will see

this and on that day I am truly hoping

for more 2am phone calls and lighters

and promises we’ll actually follow through.

 

Before someone else makes good on them for you.
