Love is love.
You can’t take away the feels from a first love.
it’s that first hurt…first disappointment, you can remember the first time you felt your heart rip.
It’s surreal, and damaging to move on, their love lingering around, which is now on repeat as your favorite song.
You never notice til you’re all alone, thoughts intertwined in your unsaid words. Then you realized the love never left.
& your life has been lived with unresolved neglect.

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
