In My Feelings: A Call Away
A Call Away I stand at the end of the road waiting for you to join me. Wondering if I called out loud enough for you to hear. If you need me I’m only a call away. If you desire a shoulder to lean on I’m here. Love always, Esha <3

Let’s Argue: Boomerang
Boomerang You come back like a boomerang Slicing through clear, confident air determined to prove me wrong The give and take of our debates Leaves me hungry for more We don’t see eye to eye often But that’s what conversation is meant for To figure out the things that don’t quite fit And no matter…
