Hey honey,

Ehhhhh, I don’t know if I like it. It’s very meh. I was just playing with formatting and this came out, so it’s not really as much my style as usual.

Hey honey,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Do you still remember how I pointed at the ocean
;;;;;;;;;;;;;the exact colour of your eyes
;;;;;;;;;;;;;and told you that that was my favourite colour?
Hey honey,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;How long ago was it when we first touched lips?
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;It wasn’t seven months
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Fourteen days
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;And three hours
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Was it?
Hey honey,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Do you wonder how things might have turned out?
;;;;;;;;;;;;;If only,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Right?
Hey honey,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Where did all your love for me go?
Hey honey,
;;;;;;;;;;;;;Do you still think of me?
Hey honey,

Hey,

Cotton candy fairy tale

Leave a comment

Another one which I sort of like?? I’m not quite sure how I feel about it yet, but it just kind of happened, and I’m not mad about it.

Six months of pure bliss, and then our cotton candy fairy tale went into the woods and didn’t make it out. So now I’m left with six months of memories from when we swore we’d be each other’s happily ever after, six months where we smiled widely and meant it, and now I can’t remember the last time anyone saw my teeth. I’m stuck with snapshots like Polaroids which belong in a scrapbook I don’t own, because I don’t recognize the laughing creature in the pictures, the one with her arms around the person you were before the beast emerged. I remember the sweet kisses we shared, but now all that’s left of them is a stickiness on my cheeks which won’t wash away no matter how hard I scrub. Our cotton candy fairy tale, sweet and innocent and perfect. All you left me with is the bitter taste of acid.
