Something about Oranges and love 🍊

— I peel an orange, and I give you half. In the time it took to separate it, I fell in love with you again.

i miss him like a lung

i wanna reach for him

my soul sprawls in my waking and my sleep

my souls grows long lanky arms and grapples futilely at his

the red thread was severed i can tell

but i hold onto my severed end and reach with it to the sky in childlike hope of it sensing its twin half across the world

please let it still be tied around his finger

say you want to be inside of me and ill cut myself open and have you wear me like a second skin
