#46 – I Know You Know

Nikon F90 + 28-70mm | Fujicolour C200 | @emilyyyung

Hi, hello.

I’m currently in my usual space, trying to finish my final summer school assessment so that I can go to my favourite market tomorrow – but obviously failing desperately because now I’m here.

My heart is bursting with excitement knowing that after this last stretch, I’ll have a bit more time to work on other things + watch shows and movies + spend time with friends. Very, very excited.

But before I get there, I am bursting at the seams with thoughts – many, many thoughts. Thoughts that have consumed me for a while now; thoughts that I need to voice out. Thoughts that have riddled me with confusion; thoughts that I hope I can work through by writing poems.

This is here out of fear of being too out there, but still feeling compelled to put this out into the universe, somehow - a constant internal conflict if you ask me. I’ve posted a cropped version of this image over on Instagram with a relevant little caption if you’d like to take a peek. I also haven’t shared any poems here in a long while, so I hope you like this one x

I know you know

I wonder if you could feel my heart racing beneath the blanket
If you could feel my hands fumbling for proximity
If you could sense my anxious heart in limbo
If you could somehow tell that all I wanted to do
Was to be close to you
Even closer than we were last night
I wonder if you’d let me
I wonder if I could try

With love, Emily
