Literature Text

I wanted to write you a love
letter, describing everything
I know about you, but then I
stopped because
I knew I couldn’t do it.

I realized I could never write
about how the ocean feels
in the middle of the night and you’re
not supposed to be there,
or what it meant to catch
those secret moments between people
on accident.

And I don’t know a lot
of things, like:
when people realized that
shoelaces were better than buckles
or how many licks it took
to get to the center of a tootsie pop,
and I don’t know what’s the best
thing to do when you
find out that your best friend
tried to kill herself
three nights ago, but I
do know this:
not everything is poetically
sad, and metaphors
can only go so far.
and every teenager might
considers themselves
a poet, but I don’t
care.


and I know that every
teenager who stays up late
and overdoses on coffee
seems to think that they’re
a literary genius
but that still doesn’t change
the fact that
I can’t write anything except that I
still love you.
