You called me hot
Attracting all the butterflies
Who knew being so vulnerable
Could feel so right
She
She gets me completely,
where other people don’t,
where I thought people never could
She sees my energy and matches or raises it,
she’s here for me forever,
she doesn’t fail to help when I need it-
even without asking
And she tries her **** best to be “good enough”
as if she isn’t already so perfect-
So perfect that I don’t think I deserve her.
You called my eyes gold
When I stepped out of the car to buy clothes
But I told you they were just hazel
Yet you insisted I was gold

Today was typical
I got the sax out
Pressed play
Started learning my solos

But the music, my air, it came over me
I closed my eyes for a second, and in the next moment I was standing up by the window, a beam of sunlight blinding me
So I closed my eyes again
I wanted to see as I felt in the moment

This time I imagined an audience
For some reason though, I couldn’t care less about them
My parents, or siblings, or even the director
I just wanted you to hear it
To see golden boy with his golden sax

And when I opened my eyes
I saw myself in the tv reflection
Not the stupid insecure boy
But the golden boy you love

It’s funny
I used to be so insecure
And when I met you
I was convinced I didn’t have a chance
Yet somehow
You convinced me to find good in myself-
To be confident of it

You made me a better person
Just by detailing the real me
Changing me completely-
Yet staying the exact same
Now you’re the gold, and I want you to see it too
Sunlight changes people
Some get burnt all over
Others tan until they look like another person
But I think she’s got it best
Every detail I love about her-
It shines

Her blue eyes reflect the world in front of her
Her skin appears closer, and smooth
Her hair becomes golden like sunlight
And her words travel across the heat
Making every muscle in my body quiver

I might have golden hair and eyes
But you’re the true gold, girl
I don’t think I’d be gold at all-
Not without my lovely ray of sunshine
I don’t believe time
How was it over a year ago
When our hearts first came together

I could’ve sworn we were not a thing-
Which as itself was a thing-
Less than six months ago

I love looking at our saved snaps
But it hurts
All those memories fading

Our love isn’t the same
It’s mature, settled, teenage-bonded
Spontaneous if you will

I don’t miss those days
I love us now
I just forget what it was like to love you then
I know how life works
My luck hasn’t failed to disappoint me yet
But I’ve got to say
I feel happy with you
I’m happy with you
I can’t sleep after what happened yesterday. I said things that I may have thought at the moment, but they aren’t how I feel, it was the nerves talking. I’m sorry to be such a pain and piece of work, you shouldn’t have to deal with me in this state, regardless of the situation. I’m glad we got to fix the night, and have yet another truthful conversation. But I think I just wanted more, as I always do, and three hours of talking in a day didn’t feel like enough. Had you not come back though, I would be in tears, where instead I’m peacefully taking in the anxious pain left over from a long day. Maybe it’s something to consider, getting better at distance, being okay with weird situations. But I also know I missed you too much to want anything but you here right now in every moment. So don’t go. For a day, for a few hours, for even a minute. Just stay here with me. It’s gonna be tough sometimes, but we always work through it, we understand and don’t need to argue over anything. Sometimes I wonder, why I stayed through it all, no matter how hard it got. I realize now more than ever, it’s because I’m so in love with you, my heart bleeds more for you than it ever will for anyone else, even myself. But I want it to for you. I want anything, everything, as long as it comes with you. Stay.
