“how can it be love

if you don’t fear
the loss of them.”
― Lili Reinhart

“It's been a while since I've had a
moment to miss you,
and to cry.

This warm, summer breeze
on my balcony makes me think of
Cape Cod,
and your floral swimsuits.

How you never worn sunscreen but
always told us we had to.

Even in this loud city,
quiet moments exist where your
spirit is present.

And I feel like you're sitting next to
me on the beach again.

So I'll wait until the sun goes down
before I go back inside.

For now, we can sit here and listen
to the ocean.”
― Lili Reinhart, Swimming Lessons: Poems

“he laid down his pen
after a few moments.
and there were no marks
on the corner of the page.
where his hand
had been resting.

the ink had run dry.

there was nothing.

nothing left.”
― Lili Reinhart, Swimming Lessons: Poems

“I stopped taking
photos of sunsets
a long time ago.

I can never
capture its colours.

The same goes
for you.”
― Lili Reinhart, Swimming Lessons: Poems
