Thank you for being respectful
Thank you for being so nice
Thank you for being up front and honest
A brother
A pal
One of the nice guys
Thank you for being everything I needed
It's just so unfair that this respectful male friend
Never actually existed

The moon told the sun
Someone's about to fall in love

The sun replied to the moon
Let's watch her heart split in two

i did not know who i was until i knew what i wasn't

in a matter of seconds i knew what was expected

the price of being in the present moment

the great expectations that go unspoken

Don't complain darling
It's just a little wind
It's just a little rain
Don't complain darling
We will survive this hurricane

her fingers traced
indistinguishable shapes
along my skin
leaving a lingering imprint
an exotic imprint of forbidden love
an imprint for me to remember
when my body is in his arms

her fingers held my once chained body
i find myself sobbing
from the pure intensity
it is downright terrifying
how much this woman affects me

her fingers traced
invisible shapes
along my skin
this is a fleeting affair
though it means the world to me

my reason why
is your glorious smile when i am by your side

my reason for being alive
is your peppermint tea and key lime pie

you don't have to stop crying or explain why you are crying
you don't have to do anything at all

you don't have to always be strong for vulnerability is not wrong
be brave and let those beautiful tears fall
