. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

butterfly


a
special
kind of
butterfly
in my
stomach
.
i adore
the way
you are
made of
stardust
as if gathered
together
for me

  7. I think you should write greeting cards.
    and I hope you dont take that as an insult.
    Its just I cant shop for greeting cards ever because I end up crying in the aisle. And I swear, I have the same reaction reading your poems. I know its coming and BOOM!
    right in the heart.
    love love poems by you, my friend.
