A little lost

Lost my creative touch over the years 

We will never get to know how great it could have been, or how painful it might’ve ended. But what I do know is that part of me still hurts that I never had the guts to tell you how special you are. I hate that sometimes when I ask you how you’re feeling you say that it feels like a punch in the gut. 


I want you to smile more partly because I think you’re even more beautiful when you do and partly because it also makes me smile. I feel awkward watching you sometimes because you enchant me and I learn a lot from being with you. 

I think you’re incredibly talented, creative, genius, kind, adorable, loveable, and just all round wonderful. I’d never tell you this for fear of boosting your ego but I think we both know how much I really admire you. 

I cherish every moment we had. Every insult, joke, compliment, and smile you threw my way (even the wet towels). I love you, I really do. Maybe not in a weird romantic way but a very platonic way. I’ll be forever grateful for the joyous feeling that your presence brought me. There’s a lyric by my favourite that says; honey I’ve missed ya, you’re like sunshine in the winter. And I think of you every time. Through the pit of it all you cared for me and I will always be grateful. 

Take care of yourself, I hope you eat well and drink normal water the same rate you drink whisky. I hope you take a holiday at some point and feel some sunshine. Smell the fucking flowers and natural environment. Get out of that cold brick building and see the ocean. 

Or not

I wish I knew all the things that made you happy. I wish I made you happy. 

At first I thought I wanted you because I couldn’t have you (and the banter was fun). But I hope you know that I care for you so fucking much. I’d help you bury a body, lie to the cops, drink with you on any occasion, pick up your calls, make you pancakes, even play a stupid game. 

Thank you.

I guess what makes this even more special is that despite the fact that you will never know, you still made me incredibly happy. 

Sitting on the top floor of the library, 

looking out the window. 

Trying to convince myself I like to look at the views,

so I could be happy to live in apartment.

Why do I love to stare out windows so much?

It’s a beautiful distraction, 

watching the world go by and not be so immersed in it.

witnessing the good, but never feeling the bad. A compromise.

Time seems less relevant when you watch the world go by. 

But how long can you distract yourself for? 

are you so tired from running away now that you default to staring out the window. 

Why do we tell other people how to live their lives

When we look at the mistakes we’ve made in our lives and the times we’ve made ourselves unhappy why do we think we have the right to tell someone how they should live their life. 

The only shoes we know how to walk in are our own. Just because you have experienced a moment that someone else is going through doesn’t give you the right to think like you know better. You don’t know how their feeling.
