Setting: that little cafe we both used to enjoy
though we both only pretended to enjoy
coffee. The smell of it permeates the air,
mingling with the constant chitter-chatter,
of hearts becoming one.
Filling the small confines of,
that little cafe we both used to enjoy.
And you,
you who were once my love,
though perhaps we were too young for love
in a time when we were naive enough to love
the security and sophistication in saying the words, "I love
you. You enter the scene,
and I must once again familiarize myself
with the task of forgetting how it once was.
"Hello", you say. And the charade begins.
Something so toxic can hardly be right,
but the blue in your eyes takes me to past heights.
So i keep my eyes fixed on the table. the floor.
anywhere, but where your frozen blue meet my longing own;
Working like an elixir to make me tell the truth.
And it takes all inside me to hold myself back;
This facade hides the fact that i'm all but relaxed.
For it's taken some time for me to learn,
i must fix my eyes where yours are sure not to return
something so toxic can hardly be right
but the blue in your eyes takes me to past heights
im just trying to make sense of the present tense

I think this must be some private space which I happened to pass by. I like the style you write your posts.
i didn't know you had a blog like this one. so i was stalking josh, and came across his blog which lead to yours. i should have been stalking you to find this, but alas, i made it.
you're writing style is exquisite. your words are breathtakingly beautiful. i would love to one day read a book full of these words.
you are beautiful in your heart as well as in the physical sense. you are also one of the most talented people i know.
stay lovely. i use that word a lot, and have always felt that if i were to only give the word away to a few deserving people, who embodied everything lovely, you would win hands down, kick everyone else's ass.
love, alyssa
