Maya. Second year at UC Santa Barbara. Originally from San Francisco East Bay. I always say I'm not a poet. But I am a lover of words. I collect them. This blog is to display my collection.
Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you’d go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

Every word that he says is a dagger in me
In my life, there’s been no one like him anywhere
Anywhere, where he is
If he asked, I’d be his

And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head
I’m the only one in love
