why am i sitting here,
alone and sad;
with nothing but my favourite book,
and a cup of tea,
listening to the quiet rustles of the leaves outside;
thinking of all the things i could've said
to you.

Look at yourself in the mirror,
you probably don't like how your nose
isn't completely straight,
or that one eye is smaller than
the other one.

But don't you worry
darling,
those imperfections you see?
They define you as a human,
and make you unique.

Even though you hate your
flaws,
there is someone out there
in the big, vast, world,
who will love them with their entire soul,
if it is even possible to love
someone that much.

Please don't fret,
when you look into the mirror
and don't like what stares back
at you,
because someone would
think they are the luckiest person on the
planet to kiss those flaws.

Temperatures rise,
and I can see the baby green shoots
of grass,
peeking through the thawing snow.

Animals start to awaken from their winter nap,
and feed themselves
with the fresh spring plants.

I can smell the blooming flowers.
and hear the happy chirping birds.
Walking down the street
ligned with the vibrant colours of new plant life,
feeling that springtime is in
the air.
