On This Black Chair

I sit inside and I creep you
Think about all the ways you could have been
And should have been mine

About the moments back then when you were there right under my nose and yet not even a sideways glance I gave

About the moments back then when we might have stared at each other for an extended second and then blinked it off

Returned to our lives as normal
Indifferent.

I wonder how different your life would have been
Mine
Two ships in the night
But this time sailing together
Not just passing each other by
I play out my fictional life with you
Realize that I don't even really want it
I'm glad for you
Happy that you're happy living in a blissful state of ignorance

It's so satisfying
Mystifying
Gratifying.

Green Eyed Difference

I wouldn't want to stare at you until our eyelids fall on themselves and eyelashes lock for the night. I could see myself waking up next to you and stretching my worries away, but I wouldn't want to.

Feelings So Loud Yet So Silent

He liked me. I never saw. I liked him. He never saw. Friends with hints. Didn't help us much. I did not care. He did. Until he stopped. Feelings came around. I liked him. He liked me. I said nothing.

Simpler Times

I remember walking. In the treacherous rain. Both with our hoods up. Refusing to part again. As it lashed down we found shelter. Under our favourite tree. You stood back against the oak.

Unwritten Letters [02]

Dear Melody I was just thinking about you again today. I was remembering the first day I saw you, remember. I was so shy back then.

The Color Of Your Shirt

I couldn't determine if it was how your clothes were fitting that day, or if it was the way you did your hair.

lol / it was meant to be more envious I guess; if it came across as forlorn I hope it's forlorn in an imaginary sense.. I felt like I embodied the mood of spiteful or something but even that's wrong lol @MrsS

I love how everyone pulls something different / it speaks to what you personally see and understand as a reader

@nouseforaname I can see the envy, you're happy for them but you're still allowed to miss them or the life you once had. I liked it πŸ‘
