“You have no idea what a charming memory you are to me.”

Why am I always told as a short girl that I can't do things but then when I defy expectations and do them it's "well it was easier for you because (some reason related to being shorter/smaller)"

Knowing you have all the receipts to prove someone is awful and choosing not to release it is a whole new level of maturity

“We were somewhere else…”

1

We were somewhere else

A place I’ve never been

And I know

That I will never go back

Like a dream

Specific to that moment

Unreplicable

But startlingly alive

Until waking

2

We were somewhere else

maybe among the stars

where time meant something

different

because I swear

I lived lifetimes

in those moments

3

Did it mean something different

In that place that we were

I don’t think it translates

To the here and now

As I run my hands over

The things we made

I no longer recognize the shapes

I’ve become convinced

That we were somewhere else

4

Take me to that place

That somewhere else

You go to

When your eyes get

That faraway look

And a smile

Creeps across your face

5

we were the

somewhere else

drifting in the

somewhere

looking for the

else

We’re just trying

To make it through the

The plot

Annotating as we go

The thoughts

That we won’t

Come back to later
