i miss what it
feels like to believe in sunrises.
to wake up feeling like… today will be good,
beautiful things will happen,
and nothing will hurt.
but the world just keeps breaking
my heart again and again
and again.

whenever i see someone talking about how small & controllable women need to be if they want to be loved, it just makes me want to write more poetry about how bright we get to be and be loved.

a love language…
good conversation. intense conversation.
wit, banter, chemistry. tell me things.
a curiosity exchange… the kind you
don’t want to end.

they say you are gone.
but i still feel you… in signs and serendipities,
you are imprinted in song lyrics and visiting me
through butterflies… i am trying to understand the
texture of this world without you because they say
that you are gone, but i still feel you in energy,
and i’m sure that you’re still with me.

you deserve someone who isn’t afraid of your sparks… the kind of connection where their fire is drawn to your fire.

i’m so drawn to aura…
like when you can feel who someone is
glowing from within… i’m just pulled to
the way a soul can radiate energy
through skin.

it’s maybe one of my favorite feelings ever… my friends and i call it “suspension.” it’s when a connection creates an energy between you and another person or a group of people… and that conversation or that night or that experience or that moment you’re in with them just becomes all there is, and you just lose time together. the way that energy can just feel infinite… i’m pretty sure it’s some kind of magic.

i don’t think we’re taught enough how
much energy matters in connection and to listen
to our intuition… we’re told what we feel isn’t “real.”
but the physical or just actions or words;
not one of those things alone can tell us everything.
and so i listen to the way things feel… i listen
when something doesn’t feel right. but then…
i also love in energy because i don’t think
anything could be more real.

be gentle with your heart as you let go of them… you’re not just letting go of them; you’re letting go of this whole version of you that was in love with them… but this next version of you is going to fall more in love with you than you ever have been.

why else would you have been
given this passionate ache inside for it
if you weren’t meant to know it and tangibly hold it…
dreams are dreams on purpose. aches are in us
on purpose. your heart reaches for it on purpose…
and because your soul remembers it.

why else would you have been given
this wildflower energy if you weren’t meant to
run free in the sunlight and get drunk on the moonlight
and be kissed by the starlight… there’s a world
outside and you need it in your veins.
