You are the day's light, you will always be mine, respectively.

when you smile, i get butterflies
when you laugh, fireflies

dear young soul,
blooming flower,
lighthearted joke,
happy child

keep your chin up,
keep your heartbeat steady even when the ones you adore kiss you
keep your head on even when you're raging
keep the slack on your leash long
keep the smile on your face wide
and don't stop to think you're something small
even when you follow, your movement makes the tide echo

I promise that I could never be
exactly the way you want
but I swear to God, I'll try
because you're the light
and love of my life

they said there was a girl they knew
with a cigarette between her smile
and flowers between her hair

and i knew, i didn't have to even think—
it was me.

Remember the day you were happy because the scars faded.

I think you're the best thing.
