Hi

 "Hi. I just called to say hi"

"Hi"

*Silence*



Not love

 It's not love when you've given all you have and they have given nothing. 

It's not love when you're the one waiting and they don't come. 

It's not love when you're constantly questioning where you stand in their circle and they don't bother to tell you. 

It's not love when you ask for the bare minimum and they still don't hear you. 

Nothing happens

There's no such thing.

Seeing a shooting star, manifesting from the universe, prayer, making a wish.

Nothing works. Nothing happens.

There's no such thing.

Complete

Oh, everyone can love a rose.

But go love a leaf. 

Plain, ordinary and unnoticed, hidden behind the beauty of the flower. 

Go love a leaf.

And notice how the smallest of things are what make the picture complete.

Heavy

Put it down. The tiredness, the heaviness. 
The brick tied to your heart.
The lead on your feet. 
Put it down. It's heavy. 
It's not yours to carry. 
Let it go to the water, to the air and the mountains. 
Let it circle above you and reach the stars. 
But it's not yours. 
No. 
Let it go.

Ruby

 I don't want this anymore. I've had enough. 

I'm worth more than this. I thought you may have known that, but you haven't realised it.

Set me free and leave me alone. Let what is meant for me find me, be it happiness, peace, longing and love. 

If you've gone then why are still  standing in the way?

Clouds

 I'll look up and see hearts in the sky. I know you won't though. You'll only see a mass of white cloud. Nothing. 

But the trick is to look with hope and wonder. To see something in everything. To look for a sign in everything. To question, "Are you there? Are you talking to me? Show me". 

And then you'll see. 

Mine

These words that I pen are not about you.
