the moon envies the sun.
she keeps the harvest
and is praised for her ability to be generous with her glow.
but the moon fails to see
that the sun can also sting.
she ignites and enflames
and can hurt in the worst way.
the sun envies the moon.
she brings out the stars
and helps maintain the waters,
pushing and pulling the tide back and forth.
but the sun fails to see
that the moon brings along blindness.
sometimes she shuts herself off completely,
leaving the stars to finish her work.
the moon envies the sun,
the sun envies the moon.
they are completely different,
but completely the same.

when i think of the first time our lips said hello,
i think of football jerseys
and my favorite pink lighter.
i think of sitting on a tree stump,
feeling so warm inside even though the temperature was cold.
i think of closing my eyes
and feeling your hands rest on the back of my neck.
i think of being with you,
and i think of never wanting to pull my lips away from yours.

IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIND THE WORDS TO SAY TO YOU BECAUSE YOU MAKE ME FEEL A SORT OF HAPPINESS THAT DOESN'T HAVE A WORD TO GO ALONG WITH IT. AND THE STARS IN MY EYES ARE SO MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE ONES IN THE SKY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO STOP MYSELF FROM SMILING AT THE MENTION OF YOUR NAME.
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE A FLOWER IN A GARDEN FULL OF WEEDS, AND MY HEART ALWAYS WANTS TO BE CLOSE TO YOURS.

my heart smiles when i'm with you, and the butterfly infestation in my stomach grows with every word you say to me. being with you, i find myself happier than I thought i could be. i don't know how you managed to capture my heart so quickly, so quickly that i didn't have time to catch my breath. you helped pick me up off of my knees and back onto my feet, and i cannot thank you enough for showing me so much happiness and care.

sitting on the floor of an elevator, holding your hand, i realized how much i love being with you and how content i would be if i were in your arms every second of the day. standing in an old bookstore, watching you fumble through the fiction section i realized how beautiful your mind is and how much i adore your never-ending imagination. i never want to spend another second without you, it's hard to breathe when you aren't here. it's impossible for hearts to smile, yet you've found a way to make mine emit the biggest grin in the world.

maybe the reason my hands shook so much when you kissed me was because i was opening myself up to you. i was allowing you to explore the depths of my mind and all my insecurities were there for you to discover. i don't want you to view me as i view myself sometimes, i don't want your hands on my waist to turn into a guessing game. but oh god, when you kiss me it's like i can't even breathe anymore. i don't want this to end, but i'm scared that when you find your way to my heart, i'm not going to be who you want anymore.

you held me so much
that my hair has started to smell like you.
i don't want to wash this scent away,
i want you close to me always.
and when i bury my head into your arms,
i don't feel so alone.

nobody has ever told me that i'm beautiful so many times that it repeats itself over and over again in my head. nobody has ever loved me so much, that everything in the world is suddenly better, and it seems as if the sun rises and sets just for me. nobody has ever wanted to kiss me, or even hold my hand.
but you do.
and i couldn't be happier.

you said nothing was going to change.
but so much already has.
you don't see it,
but i do.
i'm sitting on the floor of my bathroom as i write this.
i looked in the mirror and i saw it all.
i saw the sadness,
and i saw the despair.
i wish things could go back to the way they were.
but that's awfully selfish of me.
i miss you.
and i know it won't be long until i never see you again.

i wish i could walk to you,
so that you could see me in person,
so you could see how much this is hurting me.
i wish that you could feel my pain,
just for a moment,
so you could miss me too.
