Poetry On The Odyssey: The Love You Can't Always Put On Paper
Ryan Johnson

The love you can't always put on paper.

To my friends:

Time has evaded us and all seems antiquated

We've been through things you and I

We've lost mothers, fathers and grandparents too

Lovers have failed us time and time again, yet no condemnation between us

Loneliness has crept inside of us whispering that we don't know each other

Things have changed for the worst and for the better

We've planted

We've grown

We're growing

Stars weren't far enough so we shot past them

We found love and grounded it amongst ourselves

Those whom we love, love us back

Those whom love us, we love back

The world bigger than an oyster, limitless to the end of the galaxy

Though miles away in areas of sandy beaches to crisp northern air

I've never felt closer.

The love that makes you feel like Sundays

The late nights with laughter brewing in your belly

The connection that sparks in all the right ways bringing fire to our darker days

The emotions are limitless

So here's to the love that you can't always but on paper
