I swear we shared a moment 
our eyes met and the world stopped spinning
You confided in me about your insecurities
 gave yourself permission to feel
permission to be vulnerable
comforted by the thought that you would forget by dawn
but I did not forget  
did you forget
did you forget
did you forget
how you showered me with compliments
danced with me till 2am
told me you love me 
and how you wanted to see more of me
because I cannot
​I cannot
I swear we shared a moment
I just wish I didn't have to explain it

1. I am, without a doubt, in love with you 
2. You love somebody else
3. I heard you say how much you love this other person and it hurt
4. it hurt because I know the person you love 
5. Because I introduced the two of you 
6. I know they love you too
7. they told me with their eyes
8. you told me I miss you
9. I miss you too 

 Everything you said was the right thing to say
when your friend falls in love with you
and you don't feel the same
you always had a way with words
language was a dance you practiced and mastered
articulation: the rhythm you felt inside
there was never a need to keep a beat
because poems pour out of you every time you speak
and so it is with every fragment in my body that I ask you leave
because I cant help but love you
every time you speak

On an ordinary night
Under a moonlit sky
I told you I could no longer speak to you
no longer listen to you
no longer be there for you
because every time I did 
the cosmos seemed to align
fireworks lit up the sky 
but the stars that are your eyes
were so blinding
I was always blinded
though they were so beautiful
I could never get enough
I would never be enough
so goodbye...
because loving you hurts
and yet loving you is all I want to do
