You can't break up with a soul mate [a love story in poetic verse]

145 | things i didn't say

we ate Rocco salad
french fries in olive oil & oregano
souvlaki sticks dipped in oregano and lemon
we lay under the umbrella
drinking frappe
then cold beer
iced water cubes
kissing in the shade
the electronic music blaring
bodies tingling
warm indigo waters
wavy shores
refreshing to our skin
we kissed in the sea
on the sand
on land
between the clouds
on the blue and white striped lounge chairs
pretty much anywhere we could
we talked about everything we hated
everything we loved
food
music
poetry
artists
we ate ice cream

then Eleni and Sophia came by
i introduced them to Jared

nice to meet you

they both grinned at me

omorphoulis Sophia said and Eleni nodded her head

they called Jared good-looking cutie pie

as soon as they left he said

they seem sweet

yeah, they are

so glad you made friends

me too

but I want to be alone with you

yes, me too

i'll hang with them when you leave

god, i don't want to leave you here

i know

it's so divine

I never want to leave this place either I thought
but didn't say it.
I never want to leave being with you, I thought
but didn't say it
i never want to leave your arms, I thought
but didn't say it
i never want to be without you, I thought
but didn't say it
i never want to say goodbye, I thought
but didn't say it
i never want to kiss anyone else, I thought
but didn't say it
i never want to undress in front of anyone else, I thought
but didn't say it

all these words will be turned into a painting
for someone to buy and hang in their living room
all my pain will be turned into art
for someone to buy and post a picture
all my love will turn into pebbles
on Garitsa Bay.
