We Are Always Longing To Belong

The world stands still for a moment. I’m taken aback by how comfortable I feel, almost as if I’m melting into this seat, even with the summer sun burning into my skin. I love the warmth. It reminds me of home.

You Tell Me I Worry Too Much

I try to let our melody sing me to sleep,
trace the stars with my fingertips,
squint my eyes at the sky
as if I could squeeze away the distance between us.
