The night screen had hung down.
The celestial space had glittering and luminous,
diamond like stars that shine in your eyes
as we are a breathtaking distance away from each other.
The darkness frightened me
as the golden glow of the day drew to an end,
and the only comfort I found was being wrapped
up in your strong but gentle arms.
The night was a silent chasm stealing the light of day
as you swept me up and took my breath away.
I watch as even at night the clouds look so dreamy
yet translucent like sea glass in the sky.
The moon's reflection gleams on the sea
and the sight of you reminds me of it's beautiful complexion.
Waiting for hours to feel secure once again
with the warmth of the sun's rays and the wispy, blissful clouds,
protecting me from the empty black void we call night.
The bright stars shine on the rain-kissed sidewalks
that we stroll down on hand in hand.
When the twilight fades to blackness,
a radiant light glistens inside you
as you kiss me under the elegant night sky.

I know it's hard to touch the clouds
when memories
hold you down
I know you cry a lot inside
when no one is
around
I know it is hard to wake up
sometimes
when breathing cuts so deep.

and the birds, they sing
but
you cannot hear
and the sun, it shines
but
you cannot see
and there's a lot of warmth around
but
you cannot feel.

I know it feels so hard
to live
with so many scars

but

light will shine and you will
see
and birds will sing and
you will hear

It's just a dark path
you have to walk
and I will be there
to walk along
don't hold your breath
don't give up yet
just
keep your hope
and you'll find one day
that you can fly again
for you deserve
the highest clouds
the purest air
the deepest love.

and I'll be here for you,
you, dear soul,
the sweetest lyric
of them all.

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to someone you love. It’s okay to say no to a friend. It’s okay to say no to a parent or child. It’s okay to say no to a job or relationship.

It’s okay to say no to ****** advances. And it’s okay to say no to a person who’s romantically interested in you. Even if it hurts someone’s feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you’re judged and ostracized — it’s okay to say no to anything and anyone that causes you pain or makes you uncomfortable. You’re allowed to put yourself first. You’re allowed to set limits and boundaries.

And you deserve to make your happiness and well being a priority. You don’t ever have to settle for something or someone that doesn’t feel right. And you definitely don’t have to compromise yourself for the sake of making other people happy. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND IF THAT MEANS SAYING NO, IT'S MORE THAN OKAY.**
