Love comes back around
Sitting at the airport at 2am
Thinking about love and relationships and how they encompass so much of our lives
How someone you think you’d never love again becomes a life long partner
How a long time friendship turns into a steamy love story
How some people could never really move on from a love that was lost
How two ex lovers, one day, can’t be in the same room because feelings
How we miss our pets when we travel for a bit
How mum’s sometimes live for their kids
We go about our little lives but there is a big part of us and simply wants to love and be loved
Do I exist
Like I know I am here
I feel my body, I see everything around me
I smell smells
I hear things
I feel feels, I love and I am loved
But sometimes it doesn’t feel real
It’s hard to call it dissonance
But I feel untethered from time to time
Like most times I am not here
But the real me fights through the haze and I am me
In that moment
But that makes all the other moment not feel real
Okay it doesn’t sound coherent
Maybe it’s not
Maybe that’s the whole point
parent-child dynamics are soooo crazy. i love you i resent you i can't stand you i adore you i pity you. and still watching your hair get a little more grey every time i see you makes my stomach feel weird
Get to know your self,
What you love, like or hate
What makes you smile the widest
What makes you feel excited
What is love to you
What makes you feel afraid
What saddens you deeply
Who brightens up your day
Tell me whats’s on your mind
Tell me what’s on your mind today, is it an ex lover you don’t talk to anymore or the job you didn’t get
Is it clouds in the sky as you stare in awe, is it the friend by your side, telling you what’s life been like for them lately.
Is it picture online of a friend doing something you would also love to do, or a love interest on a trip you would love to also be on
Is it the work you do and hate or the work you do and love
Is it lunch today or dinner plans tomorrow with your friends, is it the loneliness that sometimes visits you or the joy of sharing your space with your cat
Tell me what’s on your mind, let’s share the joy or burden together

I don’t write great poetry but I write and they make life feel a little less heavy
