Live & let die:

I burned all of your old love notes today.
& I thought to myself..

"What the fuck kept me from doing this sooner?"

Like an hourglass nailed to the table:

It's two a.m. & I can't sleep to save my life.
But I refuse to allow the four walls of my bedroom the pleasure
of swallowing my ambition as I stare at the ceiling.
& I somehow have more energy than usual so I walk to the nearest bus stop.
I don't question where it will take me, I simply climb the dirty steps
& begin to look for a seat amongst the crowd of unfamiliar faces.
I make my way towards the back, where there seems to be the most space
& watch as raindrops collect on the window to my right.
20 minutes or so pass as I loose myself in another daydream.
"Life flies by. Flies by fast to put it simply."
I heard a comforting voice say, aiming my direction.
I turn around quite suddenly to match it with a face.
My eyes meet a sea of wrinkles & a kind, honest disposition.
"It most certainly does." I say as his chapped lips form a smile.
A smile that has a million & one stories, life lessons & experiences behind it.
"Though we're strangers, child. I'd like you to promise something."
Curiosity began to build.
"& what would that be, sir?"
He turned to face me straight on with pleading eyes & spoke.
"Promise yourself to not let it pass you by."
For the first time,
I began to breathe.

Champagne from styrofoam cups:

You don't need my
pictures on your wall.

& I don't need your
secret midnight calls.

Miserable mornings; Never ending nights:

Adventure (ad·ven·ture):

n.

a. An undertaking or enterprise of a free-spirited nature involving unknown risks.

This is your life.
& it's ending one minute at a time, dear. xx

Butterflies.

It appears as though I'm in Love again.

..Fuck.
