FLIGHT OF THE STARS




Ma Fleur,

I think I am in love.

I’ve found myself missing you lately. I yearn for the next moment I’ll get to hold your hand and maybe listen to your heartbeat. I find myself smiling and giggling at the thought of you. You have me believing in this fairy tale bs. I’ve been singing Frank Sinatra’s ‘I’ve got you under my skin’ then I get engulfed in a state of euphoria as I relive our moments in my head.

‘I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart

That you're really a part of me

Yes, I've got you under my skin

Under my skin’

I have a lot I want to do and say but our time together always seems limited. I want to hug you tightly until we are warped into one. I always seem not to be getting enough of you. I want to hold hands more, talk a little bit more, dance, and go crazy a tiny bit more. I want to cook more with you and get to complain about salt.

I want to listen as you talk about that random show you watched. I want to hear you laugh and watch you cover your mouth since your ‘ugly’ laughter has come out and you fear someone else might have heard it. I want… I want… I want more of those eyes, your eyes my vespers twilight, I want to see myself in those eyes.

I want to shout “I Love You” and hear you say it back. I want to walk more and complain about how slow you walk. Everything about you is graceful and I love how everything seems simple when you do it. I enjoy every moment I get to spend with you. I want some time skips so that I can finally bend my knee and ask for your hand.

I want to celebrate all your wins. I want to be there at your most vulnerable but;

I also don't want to forget the present, it's a gift

I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me

Lord only knows, another day is not really guaranteed

So, every time you hold me

Hold me like this is the last time

Every time you touch me

Touch me like this is the last time

Promise that you'll love me

Love me like you'll never see me again,

 

I want a whole lot more but forever seems like enough time.

LOVE ME WRONG!

  A quote read, “It’s hard to wait for something you know might not happen but it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want.” The quote felt timely. I read it at a time when I struggled with letting go. I don’t want to, though. She was mine, but she wasn’t. She might never be, but I want her to be. Why? Umm... because she is everything! What does that mean? I also can’t tell but I know that she is everything I currently think life is. It’s happiness, sadness, peace, anger, a thin line between crazy and tranquility and I crave to have that forever. You make me want to make mistakes You turn temptation into my best friend You make me just give up and cave Will I ever fall in love like this again? She gaslights me into thinking that crazy is normal. She pushes my boundaries, and I want to try everything at least once. The whole time, I am certain that the ideas are extreme, but I am exhilarated, and I love the thrill it brings. I have tried fallin...

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it.  Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest.  Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

CRAWLING!

My Beloved, Falling in love with you wasn’t a choice, it was an instinct!   I have tried loving others but it isn’t the same. I have tried to not love you anymore but it comes so naturally, not forced just easy. I mean there are reasons why I shouldn’t love you, you not loving me being the most important one, but it doesn’t matter, well to me it doesn’t. We could live with mine since I have a lot of it… I dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow And I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep The oddest thing about all this is I would do it all over again if I had a chance. You know, loving you. Loving you made me funnier since I loved how you laughed, how small your eyes got, and how your nose scrunched when smiling at my cringe lines. How holding you felt, how holding your hand never got too hot to make it uncomfortable and how sleeping while holding hands never felt weird. So ...
