    “Somewhere
    someone
    thinks they love
    someone else
    exactly like
    I
    love you.
    Somewhere
    someone shakes
    from the ripple
    of a thousand butterflies
    inside a
    single stomach.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is packing their
    bags
    to see the world
    with someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is reaching through
    the most
    terrifying few
    feet of space
    to hold the
    hand
    of someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is watching
    someone else’s
    chest
    rise and fall
    with the
    breath
    of slumber.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is pouring
    ink like blood
    onto pages
    fighting
    to say the truth
    that has
    no words.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is waiting
    patient
    but exhausted
    to just
    be
    with someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is opening
    their eyes
    to a sunrise
    in someplace
    they have never
    seen.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is pulling out
    the petals
    twisting the
    apple stem
    picking up
    the heads up penny
    rubbing the
    rabbits foot
    knocking on
    wood
    throwing
    coins into
    fountains
    hunting for
    the only clover
    with only 4 leaves
    skipping over
    the cracks
    snapping the
    wishbone
    crossing their
    fingers
    blowing out
    the candles
    sending dandelion
    seeds into the
    air
    ushering eyelashes
    off their thumbs
    finding the first
    star
    and waiting for
    11:11 on
    their clock
    to spend their
    wishes
    on someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is saying
    goodbye
    but somewhere
    someone else
    is saying
    hello.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is sharing their first
    or their last
    kiss
    with their
    or no longer their
    someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is wondering
    if how they feel
    is how the other
    they
    feels about them
    and if both theys
    could ever become
    a they
    together.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is the decoder ring
    to all of
    the great mysteries
    of life
    for someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is the treasure map.
    Somewhere
    someone
    thinks they love
    someone else
    exactly like
    I
    love you.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is wrong.”
