We carved our heart in the willow tree, its leaves tickling our skin, laughing with us in the summer breeze, the sun peeking through its branches. You said you were moving away. Our time had come to an end. One final goodbye, an embrace beneath the willows, shadows clinging to our figures. I knew then that you would never return. Fall arrived with its cooler nights. The campfires weren’t the same without your s’mores and your scary stories. Winter returned in its frozen fury. Do you remember our snowball fights and our angels soaring towards the stars? Bird songs announced the coming of spring. I thought I heard you laughing a

A twilit kiss on the edge of reality, the warmth lingers for a second too long, before darkness snuffs the remaining flame, stars and planets glittering in the night sky. The moon, with its watchful gaze, illuminates each scratch etched into Earth’s skin. The constellations, with their infinite wisdom, whisper their secrets to the attuned few. When light Filters through darkness' grasp, and the secrets of the night begin to fade, remember that what is gone is not forgotten, it is just hidden until the end of day.

To gain is to have, To have is to hold, To hold is to cherish, To cherish like gold. To have is to hold, To hold is to want, To want is to risk, Risk all for the hunt. To hold is to want, To want is to fear, To fear is to clutch, To clutch what is dear. To want is to fear, To fear is to lose, To lose is to forget, To forget what you choose. To fear is to lose, To lose is to lack, For one step forward Causes two steps back. In counting the steps, Two truths will remain: To forget is to remember, To lose is to gain.

My heart wants to smile and my soul wants to soar When I feel like I'm living on top of the world, When all things are right and I want nothing more Than to spend all my moments with the one I adore. My heart wants to shrivel and my soul wants to weep When I find myself living in a valley so deep. When all things are wrong and I just want to sleep, I curl up in silence so alone and so weak.

In the early hours, Light falls through the pane. One eye opened, Viewing the morning text. Each day I get to sleep in, You wake me with a smile, On top of the love you send Under the moonlight before. Kept hidden by my pillow, Eyes close with a grin. Loving thoughts fill my mind, Such a great way to begin.

You are much more happy Than when I first met you. But still there are moments Where I can feel The ache and sadness, Destruction and hate From before. I know it won't ever disappear, But sometimes I forget, Especially during the moments Of laughter and love.

On a night so cold and windy, We walk beside the street. We talk about our poems Among other little things. I smile at your laughter, And see how your eyes shine. They warm my heart with loving, In this happiness of mine.

I am the tamer. I wrangle wild hearts. I show them sweet serenity And show them who they are. The truth behind the layers Of pain and of despair - I promise I will lure it With my love and with my care.

Nervous twitch. Shake my leg. Look away. Scratch my head. I turn back, Catch a smile. You were watching All the while. Awkward laugh. Check my phone. Still too early To go home. But I don't want To leave your side. Gathering thoughts, I confide. I whisper secrets No one knows. Yet these I trust In you alone. I twitch again. Shake my leg. Look at you, And grin instead.

We have not known each other For as long as some would think, But the time we've spent together Has been far from meaningless. There are days when we are closer, And we snap together perfectly. There are days when we are separate, And we struggle to connect. But each day has been a blessing And each moment full of life. I am thankful for every second I spend with you right by my side.
