Sometimes I wish
that he will live
and I will see him.
But mostly I wish
that he will die, and take
my memories with him.”

“WORTHY
If you ever decide to feel— feel this:
I love you. I always have. I always will.
Not because you're charming, beautiful
or lovable.
But because I choose you.
Everyday I wake up and I choose you—
again, and again, and again.
But if you cannot feel, and if you never
feel this, then know:
I do not love you. I never have. I never will.
Because you're not worth my love.
(Come back my love, I am drowning.)”

“I HOLD
If I could have had
him,
I could have let
him
go.
But without
the having
there was
nothing—
so to the nothing
I
hold.”

If you ever get these questions in the wrong order you are in trouble.”

“7am
They said that I’d forget you,
and I knew it wasn’t true.
But sometimes I wake up now,
and my heart’s no longer blue.
I press the Keurig button,
dancing across the room—
Sometimes it’s nearly seven,
before I’ve thought of you.
And though we sleep together,
all night side by side,
one day I’ll have my coffee
without you in my mind.”
