meI've held you while you criedWe've made love to Regina SpektorWe've counted shooting stars on the deckwhile sipping on white wineI have the slightest suspicionthat you might be the onebecause after all of thatyou're the strongest and toughestman I have ever met. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1404224/ It's silly for meto believe in fateor even love, for that matterBut shooting stars don'thappen behind just anybodyAnd feeling your spirit igniteat the sound of a single voiceisn't something that happens everyday"I just want to make you breakfast",you sighed to me in the carIt's such a simple thingbu.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1369831/ An ocean away from youfor ten days was no big deal at allBut knowing you'll be hundreds of milesaway from me for god knows how longdrains my heart of light. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1369124/ I'm afraid to wearyour blue and white striped shirtbecause eventually it will no longercarry the scent of your skinBut I need to wear itbecause you're hundreds of miles awayand it's the closest I can getto feeling your arms around me. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1359393/ We both know how soon it wasbut to look into those deep brown eyeswith the moonlight dancing behind your beingand hear you say those three wordsI can honestly sayI have never felt more alive. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1359391/ I wish that time was an old friend of mineThat way I'd be able to convincehim to slow down for a whileBut every time I ask him to wait for mewait just this onceHe runs away faster than my little legs and too big of a heartcan carry me http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1356670/ The reason why I'm cryingand feeling sick to my stomachisn't because I've had three drinks in the past two hoursBut rather, it's because I'm getting so f*****g attachedto you and everything you areand I know that I only have seventeen daysuntil I'll probably never see you again. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1355684/ I don't think I've ever said thisNo, not to anyone beforebut you were actually a waste of my timeI waited for youI invested in youand yet you took off on a plane todaywithout even the phone call you promisedI let you inboth emotionally and physicallyand I never f*****g do that for anyone"I'm so in l.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1353329/ I've had three drinksand it's taking all of my strengthto refrain from drinking moreand to refrain from texting you againBecause you're an actorIt's what you do for a careerand I'm a lush and a foolfor believing that of all peopleI could be lovely enough for you. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1353314/ He's the only onethat I ever let inThe only one I ever letinto the darkest depths of my mindAnd so many people don't understandand so many people question that decisionbut I can assure you one hundred percentthat out of all the f*****g men I've been withhe's the only one that has never leftand will .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1353309/ I cannot focus at all todaybecause of the fact that my hair smells of youAnd that brings me backto last night's embraceThe one where you and Istood as the water fell around uswhile we washed each otherAnd as much as I deny itI don't think even somethingas simple as a showerwill ever be the same.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1352197/ Nothing feels better to methan your naked body wrapped around mekeeping me safeAnd nothing feels better to methan your naked soulreaching out to kiss minekeeping me yours. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1352191/ As soothing and as flawlessas the sound of the rain is against my open window tonightNothing sounds better to methan to hear the soft rhythm of you breathing right beside meas you sleep with your face next to mineJust inches from mine on the pillow. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1347808/ Every goddamn time I'm drunkit's lethal to my existence Because I let myself admit the factthat I am so f*****g attached to youbut everything between us has been determinedand I'm dying to avoid that May 28th expiration date. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1344631/ I normally don't/won't post things like this, so I'm sorry in advance, but I need to let some things out that I can't on my tumblr. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1343678/ Someone please explain these emotions  for I'm not exactly sure what I'm feeling You told me as I got out of the car this morning that you'd see me tomorrow But tomorrow doesn't include tonight and the mere thought of not sleeping next to you tonight makes my heart sink.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1343548/ There's that slow panicthat slowly sets in when you can feel yourselfslipping into your old habits and waysAnd there's nothing you can do about iteven if you wanted tobecause alcohol and razor bladesdon't leave like people do. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1343071/ I hate how things can be perfectand carefree for so longWhen all it takes is horrible timingand some stupid decisions made by someone elsefor my arm to have brand new gashes,the deepest and most painful ones I've created,that rip further open every time I move. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1342709/ I'm the worst at getting up in the morningespecially when I have somewhere that I need to beAnd I'm really bad at finishing a can of sodaeven though I know it's a waste to leave them half emptyIt's impossible for me to ever keep a stable moodsince I experience extreme highs and lows throughout the d.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1341115/ It won't be todaysince I woke up again in your bedwearing one of your shirtsAnd it won't be tomorrowsince I will be thinking of youand the way you looked at meBut maybe one of these daysI'll finally learn to stop chasing soulswho have dates set for departureand won't be coming back. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1339734/ I'm not entirely surewhether it's the alcohol that's still in my blood from last nightor whether it's the factthat I woke up in bed with youtopless and against your chestBut I am still swooningand a whole different kind of drunk. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1339299/ After a bottle of Merlotand a few sips of Jackwe completely connected.Your hands on my bodybecame so familiar and rightthat I was amazed and surprisedwhen you stoppedand didn't go any furtherout of respectfor who I am. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1338955/ I realized something tonightas I walked across campusjust as the cold tried to kiss my lips.I've always said I didn't believe in lovebut now I understandthat I've fallen in love more times than I can count.It just lasts mere moments instead of yearsminutes instead of monthsAnd to be honest,I'm not s.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1337978/ Where do you turn whenthe late nights end?The music ceasesand your background runs silent?When you sit at the tableand eat too quickly yet againeven though you're no longer pressured for time?When the only distraction you had leftcomes to a closeand you have nothing but reality to face?Where do you .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1337801/ It simply astounds mehow all it took was one drunken eveningof you and me hand in handwith faces in close proximityfor me to get so many butterflies as I looked upand saw you walking towards me on campus today. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1337721/ You are the faint smell of liquorof smokeof cologneAnd you are the bundle of blanketsand cars passingand city lights through the downtown window.And that will be forever burned into my brain. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thelightinmysky/1337353/
