21th Century Icarus
Hey,
I think you’re cute
is what I want to say.
But all that comes out is:
It’s nice to see you again!
You smile at me, and I just m
e
l
t
but you can never know that.
You can never know how much you
make me smile
make me laugh
how much i think about you
none of that.
Even if i wanted to let you know
i
don’t
know
h o w
But, yet;
I long to see you
Your smile is as bright as the stars in the night sky;
Your laugh is as sweet as fresh honey from the hive,
And you..
You are like the sun
And I, Icarus
All I want to do is fly
Soar, with my golden wings, to you
Even though I shouldn’t.
Even though I don’t really know you.
Even though Dadeleous says not to.
I don’t care
I ignore those facts
I love how I feel
b u r n i n g
when im around you.
I know I’m falling.
I know I’m dying.
I know I’ll never reach you.
But the fact that I’m
so close
but somehow
never close enough
And yet,
i still try
because
The single moment of being with you
was satisfying enough
to the point where I’d
F A L L;
D R O W N
when I leave you.
And I’d do it again
and I will do it again
and I do it again.
Over and over
every time I see you
every. single. time.
No matter how much I
long;
yearn;
a c h e
for you
it doesn’t matter
No matter how far out of reach you are,
no matter how close you may be,
I can never act how i feel
So, I’m just
t r a p p e d
forever longing for you.

“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.<br /> <br /> And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be."<br /> -The Good Place
