Darling
don’t ever shine less bright
because you’re worried you might show up those around you
instead, shine brighter than you ever have done before
and watch how you inspire those around you
A girl of two halves
She is the girl that contradicts everyone, including herself
She seeks both wild and secure
adventure and stability
freedom and predictability
all at the same time.
She is both mild and bold,
a happy juxtaposition that only she
knows how to master
Healthy love
For the first time ever
I have discovered a love
that doesn’t make me sick, anxious or afraid
but instead is like calm water on a summer’s night
an ebb and flow that doesn’t rock the boat
but rather, soothes one gently down this river
that we call life
Care
I care for you
deeper than you could ever know
I caught the eyes of intensity
Your eyes pierce me
and I look shyly away
but there are hidden truths
that can be whispered sharply into the air
Don't lose a good thing when you have it
Baby if you keep on like this
there will be no this
I’ll be a trace of memory
and a taste of regret
so that in years to come you’ll look back
and wish you had tried harder
There
Breathe me in
and pick me up
bring your heart close to mine
and wipe the tears off my face
Hold me like it’s the first time
all over again
