i saw a sight i never lived

a day in june, we walked out of
shaded rooms and went to the edge of the city,
the boardwalk brushing the palms of our hands,
the sun glinting in
infinite pieces across the water.
the strap of your bag slipped off
your shoulder as you leaned forward.

there were no words; i watched the
wind ripple the sea. you closed your eyes and listened
to the waves.
birds, flowers, traffic sounds:
sitting inside the rhythms.

look at me, i said. what's to see?

you turned a slight smile.
maybe everything, you said.
i think
i see everything in you.

searching for paint palettes

black and white photographs
stuck to my fingertips,
icy and motionless.

that summer day we climbed a crest
in the churchyard, i paused to
glance over my shoulder at the carnations
and you moved on.

the next moment i looked, i already knew
you
were gone.

turn back, i mouthed.

please,
come back.
sudden loss;
did i ever have you at all?

this was all typed during my art class, listening to an old favorite song on repeat and looking at those photographs

You are so good at writing stick-out lines & metaphors? Like:

"sitting inside the rhythms."
"
i think // i see everything in you."
"
turn back, i mouthed. // please, // come back."

Those are so good. :love:

(also, when i was like 12 i made this really really bad animation thing for sober?
oh god, i regret everything ^^; :XD:)
