I don't want to find the love of my life. For once, I want to be the love of somebody's life.

We’ll walk by the pizza place you wanted to order the vegan cheesecake at, and you’ll actually do it. We’ll laugh over our meal and our hearts won’t be broken. Somewhere in another universe, you take me to the beach and you’re still holding my hand. I look at your side profile and your eyes look happy. We won’t be the distance away anymore, and our hearts no longer have to exist without one another. Somewhere in another universe, I see you everyday and it’s not a hallucination. I feel your soft skin touch mine and don’t have to memorize how your fingertips feel on my skin because I feel them every day. Our arguments are over the color of the throw pillows or who is going to cook dinner that night. Somewhere in another universe, we’re all of those animals in the silly videos we send to each other– carefree and simple. Things aren’t as hard as they are now. Somewhere in another universe, I don’t doubt your love for me. I don’t sabotage this. I don’t try to leave. You open your arms to me and I run into them– over, and over, and over. Somewhere in another universe, we’re in love.

somewhere in another universe, there's a you and me that works // m.k.

Drop by drop, I’ve diluted myself for you. The most antithetical aspects of me have been watered down so my soul might be more palatable for you. I nearly drowned myself for a chance that you could be mine. Now that I’ve raised my head above water, will you still love me? 

The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wisconsin, May 31, 1930

The space between us means nothing when I have this much love to fill it.

I decided to start writing about him because at least I can turn him into poetry even if I cannot make him love me.

I waited for him to fight. I waited for him to show up at my door and profess his love. I waited for him to tell me he couldn’t live without me. I waited for him to say that my love was the one that made him feel alive again. I waited for him to tell me that he’ll change. I waited for him to love me with depths that I deserve. I waited for a fire to burn in his heart for me the way one burns in my heart for him. I’m still waiting.

I hope I'm the person you daydream about when your mind is drifting off

I am not going to make my grief small and palatable. My love wasn't small either.

He says I deserve the world, but I don’t want the world. I just want him.

I was so unsure of myself that I questioned every step I took as if I didn't even know how to walk.
