And did I tell you
about how the
sunflowers
you painted on my skin
crave for you
every morning
yet the winter
never ends.

Where are you, my sunshine?

The less the better

The less the better.

hatred.
pain.
distance between
your lips and mine.

Greater wars

And tomorrow
when you wake up
do not be afraid
to embrace the
empty side of your bed
and tell your heart
there are greater wars
to be won.

You were my only wish

And I had no need
for wishing upon
falling stars
because you are all
I wished for
and you are here.

Only you know yourself

Never apologize for
being who you are.
Only you know the
depth of the ocean
you took a dive in.

Made of water

Bruised.
Beaten.
Thrashed.
Yet,
you remained soft.
I think you
are made of water.

The night never ends

Imagine.
You. Me.
The stars.
You humming
your favorite song.
No air between us.
The night never ends.
