somedays,
i can admit to myself that i don't want to be alone forever,
even though my bones insist its safest.
somedays,
i can't even consider getting that close to someone again.
but i've been alone for 18 years,
part of me want to find out what a together that doesn't involve him feels like.

to hold someone's hand
to talk into the night and feel the earthquake in my bones when they smile at me.
i want to write poetry into the soft corners of their wrists and across the gentle slope of their collarbones.
and learn to
kiss
without the thought of corrupted lips in my skin releasing involuntary shudders down my spine.
to be a safe house for someone else 
with the warm-blanket knowing of loyal beyond blood connecting you.

i want to be nervous bird-flutter first date,
i want to be safe-embrace, star studded nights 
the sound of my name in your mouth.
i want to fill the lonely places in your chest
i want to be the way you look at me 
and the smile in your mouth
that leads me with broken wrists to a place 
we can both be
safe.

i really actually don't like this piece.

but its being honest on something i've lied to myself about for a long time, and maybe thats why i needed to write it. it doesn't feel like something i'm used to thinking. muchless writing.
(but just to be clear, i'm still going with plan a and hitting life up like a nun.)
i need to rewrite this.

I know how you're feeling, I really do.
Its so odd, but when I read this, I'm seeing myself(going through the same path as you)
But either way, I hope that you will find that someone who will give you butterflies everytime you see them. Ive never really felt the feeling of that, but I heard lots of people like it, and it makes them feel happy inside. You can only take it one step at a time. (:
Good luck my friend, let me know how this is going for you....and dont worry; if your a nun, I'll be one with you. (;
