The way he looked at her,
was the way every girl wanted to be looked at.
He admired her beauty,
adored her sense of humor,
danced with her demons,
loved her like a burning flame,
He loved her
and
everything she came with.

i want to cry
the way the sky gets real heavy
when it wants to rain
but despite the darkness
of this frigid winter
i have taken
23 laps around the sun
i am alive
i am alive
i am fine

Do you remember
When the days were bright yellow
Evanescent with brightness
That made even the sun envious?

Do your remember when it started to
Dark to an orange, slowly into a red
The beautiful passionate crimson it was?

Do you remember when passion turned to
Purple and blue
Days when we were gone from each others
Embrace?

Do you remember when it all turned
Green laced with black and blue and yellow
A bruise hidden with strength?
Proof that we're alive and thriving
Hurting but only
Growing stronger?
Do you remember, my dear?

In dreams, you reach out to me like you used to and you say my name the way you promised.
Waking up is starting to hurt.
I'm trying hard to be the right kind of patient but I don't know if what I'm waiting for is still worth waiting for.
I'll wait,  anyway.
I don't know where I am going with this.
I swore I wouldn't write about you again, and I did.

Chasing after women who can't or won't appreciate
The things I say and do,
I sit alone, deteriorate,
Search for someone new.

If you give a girl a with a big heart your broken pieces,
she will gently pick them up and carry them in her soft hands,
and pay no mind to your sharp edges.
She will try to glue you back together
and she’ll do it in a way that made you forget you were ever broken.
With scratched finger tips and ****** palms,
she’ll lift you up to the sun,
letting it's blinding rays shine through you
to show you that even the worst things have things to love in them
and that even the shattered can again be whole.

If you give a girl with a big heart your body,
she will study you like an archaic God.
She will learn your curves and surfaces like braille,
she will adjust her hearing to the pitch of your laughter
so that no matter how far apart you become,
her ears will perk up like a dog's when you giggle,
and she will smile, knowing that you smile.

If you give a girl with a big heart your time,
she will make each second feel like infinity,
and each sunset like the end of the world.
You'll forget that the universe is as vast and wondrous as it is,
because you will be so captivated by the light that she emits
right where she sits,
by your side.

And if you take from a girl with a big heart,
please,
for the love of God,
do not take it all.

If you take from a girl with a big heart,
please remember that her love is not a renewable resource.
The wind and the sun and the water will forever be there to serve you but
she will run dry, and become another fact of history that will one day be forgotten.

If you take from a girl with a big heart,
please remember how sharp your edges were before her,
how lifeless your body was before she touched it,
and how meaningless time was before she made it into something magical.
