Parts One, Two, and Three

***

we are soulmates

(of the i want everything with only you kind)

and every time my eyes meet yours

i float to the stars

yet i am tethered to you

and no matter how far i am

i will always fly back to you

(because that's how it is with love)

now i find myself like a child again

picking petals

hoping that when you say

i love you

it's not

platonically anymore

*

(i hope you know

i haven't meant it that way

in a long time

i was just waiting for you

to catch up to me)

*

Next part coming...real soon.
