Oh my darling
If only you could see
Everything I admire
When you look at me
There are stars in your eyes
And constellations make up your mind
You're lost because you want to be normal
But God gave you a different mold
And you don't understand
That, that doesn't mean
You're not beautiful
Boys have abused you
To believe a women's love might cure you
Yet you're still left feeling empty
Because what society tells you
You realize has no meaning
You cry to a God
Whose promised you love and healing
But you think he doesn't hear you
Because you believe you don't deserve that love

I listen to you talk
About all the things that hurt
And I feel myself breaking
When there is no emotion in your words

Cause don't you get it?
Can't you see?
All the love that surrounds you?
How much you mean to me?
Some of me wants to shake you
Yell at you and scream
Until you understand
The worth of your being
And yet I wish to hold you
And catch all of your tears
Help you remember
That I am always near
And to remind you
All the people who would care
If you one day decided
That you no longer belonged here

I know that it's not easy
But no one said it was
So next time you get close
To giving up your life
Remember all the angels
Who stopped you all those times
And if you think of me
Know how much I love you
So much that it hurts
And there is a God who loves
An infinite times more
Dear clouds, I beg you
Either pass so I can sleep with the comfort of stars
Or pour down your tears so I can sleep to the sound of the rain
Just all I ask
Is for something
I watched you today.
You walked from face to face smiling and laughing.
And I was struck at how guiuine your happiness was.
Every so often you'd sneak a glance over at me and mouth,
"I love you."
And I became overwhelmed with the love I felt for you.
Because you were completely oblivious to the amount of love people poured toward you yet,
You accepted it more gracefully than any human being ever could.
"Have you ever fallen in love?"*



And instead of being able to say any words, my heart stumbled across you for the first time in a long time. And our memories began to play in my mind. I could hear your laugh and run my fingers through your hair. I could feel my favorite shirt of yours that I always used to wear. My neck tingled as it reminisced the way you'd kiss it. Goosebumps covered my arms as if you were there, gently stroking them and whispering mumbled words into my ear.



"Yes, I have been in love."

"What was it like when you said it?"

*"I never did."
You said you wanted to be a part of my world.
But my world has too many demons for someone as beautiful as you.
I thought people were so naive
As they were saying
"I love you"
In less than a month
So casually, so easily
I thought people were so ridiculous
As they kissed on the street
Parading around
For everyone to see

And yet here you are
All I want to do is kiss you
And in so short of time
I think that I love you

Look at what you made me
Took a serious girl and made her silly
How simple is a kiss
To just touch another with your lips
How powerful it can be
When stolen or fought for and given freely
You know you're a poet
When dictionaries
And thesauruses
Bring you more comfort
Than people
My body is aching to write some words
That seem to fit together
And make sense
Because there's nothing in this world
That's making any sense right now
