Can We Be Seventeen Again?

Writer's picture: Jessy Jessy

I crave the comfort of physical touch


Yet run from the consequences of emotions


The turmoil of being loved is painful


Suffocating to keep all of the words i have


Choking on the butterflies i kill in me


As i watch you go by just wondering within


If your love was ever meant to be mine


Taking over my words again


Returning to be my muse again


Watching the beauty of your lies flutter


Learning to love the human in you


Both of us are flawed, messed up, broken


Yet the edges of the cracks in your being


Haunt me till the night leaving me awake


Listening as your words pour out


Memorizing every thought you voice


Leaving me wondering on the what if


Wouldn't it be funny if we gave it a try


Hilarious even if we went back


Where it all started with a giggle


Can we be seventeen again?
