We keep talking about this<\/p>\n
and I understand where you’re<\/p>\n
coming from, but sometimes<\/p>\n
there’s something to be said<\/p>\n
for nostalgia simply for<\/p>\n
Nostalgia’s sake – it’s been<\/p>\n
way too long since we’ve had<\/p>\n
a 2am phone call, since the<\/p>\n
tweety bird lighter got magically<\/p>\n
swapped for a salmon one – and<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I know you’re not one for color<\/p>\n
you’d rather remember the vibes<\/p>\n
or the quoteable things that will<\/p>\n
more than likely make your poetry<\/p>\n
more relateable to the average\u00a0person<\/p>\n
without losing your flaire. I’m not<\/p>\n
an average person mind you<\/p>\n
I am a long distance forever that you<\/p>\n
have yet to admit to needing the same<\/p>\n
way you are needed and I am a whisper<\/p>\n
you will never lose to time or age and<\/p>\n
there is something marvelous about<\/p>\n
love like this – someday you will see<\/p>\n
this and on that day I am truly hoping<\/p>\n
for more 2am phone calls and lighters<\/p>\n
and promises we’ll actually follow through.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before someone else makes good on them for you.<\/p>\n
