i am a speck of dust in the galaxy of your mind
but to me you're astronomical
when i look at you i see stars
can you feel my love
thousands of light years away?

when everything i have ever known
is ripped apart
you tie all the broken strands back together
in a bow and
help me
fix myself

i want to know everything you feel when we're together
i want to know if you love the rain
or if you abhor it
but it doesn't matter
i will still drag you outside during a storm to dance with me
no rain jackets, no shoes, no cares
nothing but our feet, hands, and souls making splashes
and soaking ourselves
in the moment

you're the beginning
you're the end
and you're everything in between
you're everywhere
you're everything
and not a bit of you for me
this makes no sense
but it's what i feel
shall i repeat?

imagine a world without mirrors
there'd be no judgment of others based on ourselves
and no judgment of ourselves based on others
imagine a world without mirrors
our souls would be the tools with which we'd perceive
not our eyes
imagine a world without mirrors
scratches, marks, burns and scars
would be treasured as symbols of strength and sacrifice
imagine a world without mirrors
we'd look deeper than the mere facades of our exteriors
into the intrinsic complexities and marvels of the heart
imagine a world without mirrors
our childhood innocence would remain
but our naiveties would fall away
imagine a world without mirrors
we'd behold our sisters and brothers in grace and awe
we'd behold them with love

you're dangerous
but i like it
loving you
touching you
soaking you in
it's like licking chocolate
off of a knife

you draw blood
and then you dance in it
leaving red footprints
**all over my skin

when i see you with her
i can't help but feel
a little tug on my heart
a little falter in my step
a little quiver in my voice
and i can't help but wonder
why you picked her
why you chose her
why you love her
but it's okay
i'm used to wanting things that i can never have
