Without a care for tomorrow
I kissed you back
uncertain of where it would go
but knowing there's no end
since we're best friends.
I've become a patient person
and waiting for the next
part of forever is hardly a burden
when life is going everywhere
I can afford a love affair.
After a talk with my mother
and some time hiking alone
I thought of you missing you
until your call came on my phone.
the sound of my dad’s guitar playing his favorite chords the typing of my mom’s fingers going through family records the smell of the ceramics studio full of the kiln, dust and glaze the running home
it’s the little things they always say like how you listen more than you ever have before or how you stopped opening my car door like how you squeeze me tighter in our hugs or how you don’t answer me
I cant remember the last photo i took maybe it was a mountain maybe my niece maybe myself maybe you looking away no matter what it was it’s the last thing my lense has seen which means it means everyt
