(SPRING 2021) little love | Rebecca Swinney

Updated: Jan 20, 2022


walking side by side we talked for what seemed like hours about our music taste, song acting as a comfort little else could provide


texting late into the night about our deepest insecurities, seeking comfort in each others flaws


stressing over the same assignments, being in the same class we could understand the other’s pain


sitting in silence in each other’s presence, words not an effective enough tool to communicate


holing up inside on nice days because the outside world sometimes felt too much a burden to bear


memories being made in the most mundane of places, because you need only another presence to make it exciting


life is a lot, a burden, a mess, but it is a blessed and beautiful one with you


i can relish in the highs and lows of it


i am not in love with you by any means, but i certainly love you,


it feels as though we are twin flames, one soul split into two beings, you understand and listen in a way no other has


i suppose life is beguiling in that way, where the love you cherish most is not the sort of romance many people seek out all their lives


our love has blossomed among our wounds and shortcomings, in the minuscule moments that fly by


it is not a heartbreaking dramatic romance, in fact it isn’t even a romance at all,


purely platonic, it is simple but it is true,

our little love
