I saw the soft light glint off of your face as you laugh and I felt myself falling for you
ever had those realizations where you’re in the process of healing and you look back, you remember all those nights you spent with a heavy chest and tears just bursting out of your eyes, and you ask yourself why did you allow yourself to be treated like that?
saying something mean and then playing it off as a joke doesn’t erase the fact that you said something mean. be considerate of someone’s feelings and insecurities even when you’re being playful with them.
Let me love you with no romance attached. You and I are intertwined and we don’t need romance to know that
I want to make something, anything with you. I want the closeness of our noses and the way our hands barely touch. We are doing something together, and finally that’s enough.
I see your soul,
Opaque and shimmering -
Soft on the eyes
Softer does it sing -
Weaving hearts with wings
Holy lace flutterings,
Becoming one with my own
do you ever look at strangers smiling or dancing or having fun and think “i love you”? or see someone bop their heads along with the music from their headphones and you just wish you could tell them how pretty they look doing just that? or feel your heart warm when you watch someone laugh really loudly and then think about them later that day, completely randomly? you’re a part of that, too. someone has kept quiet about how beautiful you are to them, has smiled at the thought of this complete stranger that made their day, has repeated a joke you made to someone they love. there’s a lot of quiet love and admiration and connection in this world and even if you think you don’t belong, you’ve always been and always will be a part of it.
you won’t be in this position for the rest of your life. you don’t have to be. make plans, be spontaneous, move away and find new career opportunities, and you’ll come to find out that there is no single right path for you. there are a million different things you can do, and a billion ways to live this life. you aren’t limited to the idea you have in your mind right now.
