hey boy,
i think you should know that you’re twisting my spine into knots and clogging up my arteries and the least you could do is give me a second of your time. i think you should give me a chance. you should know that you make my hands itch when you smile because i want to brush my thumb over your cheekbones. that my shoulders are trembling because i can imagine them resting against your chest, the idea of the warmth shotgunning straight to my nerves.
i think you should know you’re making a relatively sane girl misplace her mind.
and i know you’re so much more than you’ll ever imagine, that you are making me tangle words that once lived tucked safely in my pocket. that my fists are clenched against my legs and my mind is unwound around my skull and you’re just tipping jaunty lips without a thought.
you see, i’ve been bottling this feeling but carbonation is beginning to shove against the cap. and i can feel it fizzing down the sides, leaking out my fingertips so that all i can tell you is sorry for spilling on your jeans. and that i know i’m not ideal. i know that i get jealous and i’m insecure and i’ll cut your words apart to try and see what’s lurking inside. i know i’ll piss you off and i’ll drive you mad until you’re driving down the freeway slamming your fists against the dashboard.
but, you should know that i’ll also drive you into passion. if you’ll let me, i’ll drag us headfirst into something beautiful. i’ll strip away the bullshit until we’re breathing in the essence of emotions. and for most people, it would be too much. it’d be too strong. but we’re strong enough to match it. we won’t capture the feelings but we’ll dance in step with them.
and it won’t be easy, but i don’t think you want that. i think you want a challenge and if there’s ever been one, it’s me. i can’t say i’ll warm you from the inside out, that i’ll cradle you through gentle waves. but i’ll make you feel. i’ll make you think. i’ll make you breathless and exhilarated and bright-eyed. i’ll be there until flames are licking the back of your legs and your heart is on fire and smoldering behind your ribs.
so, hey boy, won’t you at least try me on for size?

Most of the time I just glance over some poetry quick and move on with browsing, but the song mixed with those words made me stop for a second to relax and take it in.
Between all the products being repeatedly shoved in our faces, the endless scrolling of keyboard warfare amidst an ocean of bots and propaganda designed to spark a reaction and generate engagement on social media, it's rare to find post like these. Somewhere along the way it feels like the internet lost its way, became less of an adventure and more of an obstacle course. I love spacehey for moments like these.
It's nice to know there's other people out there reaching through the screen and into the void, through the clickbait, the negativity and the artificial intelligence to pull someone in and say "Hey! I'm here! I'm human, slow down.. sit down and hang out for a while, come chill :) come feel again."
This poem and song made me feel like late nights of light rain, walking in parks and sitting in fields with a crush, wasting the hours away around streetlights illuminating the falling droplets.
Best poetry I've read in months, thank you for sharing it :)
