Stay for another year
Let us live like kings
In a brave future
In shades of pink and blue
Toss another salad
Watch the Daddy long legs climb the walls
Love each other with gratitude
Suck the lemon of our unfortunate harvest
That bittersweet feeling of regret foaming
Eyes closed and we're kissing just to block out the pains
Another forest, another mosaic
Untangle me from the weeds, save me from my mistakes
Stay for another year
Let us live like kids again
And be wild in the night, full of wonder and sin
Tomorrow we will live up to our promises
Promises not to get mad and take our anger out on each other
Promises to do better
Kick our unhealthy habits
Stray from the ways in which we mix colours
Fortitude as our new palette
Barefooted on the grass, barefooted in lakes
When I feel anxious, when I feel like I'm alone
I remember to breathe, I remember the times we shared
Fun days spilling into drunk nights
When I feel out of place
I am alone, and that's okay, because I am my own best friend
Drinking my tears when I am sad
Drinking my tears when I am sad.

A great writing )) love the mention of colours and nature in this . And it’s important to be our own best friend .. we need to find some sense of comfort from ourselves , I guess

This is so neatly written dear poet! I'm enamored by this journey. It's so relatable too. As a loner I've been accustomed to being my own best friend. This poem also has a lingering sense of regret and recklessness that is lived when one is "young and dumb." I love this. My favorite lines are:
"Let us live like kids again
And be wild in the night, full of wonder and sin
Tomorrow we will live up to our promises"
