You are Loved

You are luminous, like the moonlight when I dance beneath the stars.

You are majestic, like the vastness of the mountains, all capped in white.

You are enchanting, like the morning sunshine declaring a beautiful new day.

You are soft, like the softest breeze on a quiet, summer night. 

You are magnificent, like the crashing waves and salty mist of the sea. 

You are inspiring, like the glorious winter flowers that fight the bitter winter chill.

You are elegant, like the towering sunflower as it catches the glowing sunset.

You are powerful, like the rushing river that feeds the mighty waterfall. 

You are calming, like falling asleep near the quiet creek hidden among the trees.

You are peaceful, like the rolling meadows of white and purple wildflowers. 

You are beautiful, and though words will never do justice to the beauty I see in you,

I will spend my life trying to find the right words, because you are loved.

You are so loved. 

What I Want

I want to let you back into my soul.

I want to be let back into yours.

I want to tear down all my walls.

I want to tear yours down too.

I want to be your partner.

I want to thrive with you.

I want our souls to fuse.

I want us to be inseparable.

I want to give up all my fears.

I want sunshine to light the way.

I want to dance with no restraint.

I want to picnic and blade all day.

I want everyone to look at us and say,

"I want that kind of relationship too."

But above all, I want us both to say,

"I want that kind of relationship with you."

Bright Star in the Night Sky

I hold on to see you smile again.
That huge, warm smile that brightens up your beautiful face.
I hold on to see you happy again.
That infectious tidal wave of excitement and wonder.

I hold on to hold your hand again.
That soft, smooth hand is the only comfort I need.
I hold on to hold you tight again.
That place and space that will one day be safe again.

I hold on to see your soul again.
That majestic lover of people, places, and dance.
I hold on to see your heart again.
That sunshine meadow of yellow and purple wildflowers.

I hold on to feel your love again.
That once unrestrained, bright star in the night sky.
I hold on to love you again.
That once unrestrained, bright star in the night sky.

Love is Messy

Love is messy.
Love ebbs, and flows, and moves.
Love grows weary.
Love hurts.

Love has bad days.
Love has sad days.
Love will sometimes hide its face.

Love is hard.
Love is irrational, confusing, and frustrating.
Love consumes.

But love will not run away.
Love will weather the storm.
Even if you can't.
Because love is beautiful.

Today, I may have lost my best friend

Today, I may have lost my best friend.

Was it fate? Or am I just weak?

Today, I may have lost my best friend.

My thoughts dwell, while my soul weeps.

Yesterday, I fought with my best friend.

There used to be a spark, you know, way back when.

Yesterday, I fought with my best friend.

Unnecessary tears, made necessary once again.

Tomorrow, I will awake with heavy eyes.

Will I soon be ripped from this fantasy I call home?

Tomorrow, I will awake with heavy eyes.

I only wish my best friend didn't feel so alone. 

Today, I may have lost my best friend.

Yesterday, I fought with my best friend.

Tomorrow, I will awake with heavy eyes.

And a week from now, will I have to say goodbye?

With all my heart, I hope not.
