you broke me down
and built me up stronger than before
covered me in rays of powers
and whispers of dreams
mixed with a double shot
or energy running through my veins

my heart is thawing

but my dear i promised i would never let a flame touch you.
so ill tend to the fires, just enough to keep you warm.
because i fear hurting you, and if my fires do
i have failed

Your love is as sweet as a strawberry
With the flavor bursting from every angle
and making me smile, despite myself.

Your love is like chocolate
comforting me in thick waves
of home, and reassurance

I had my first good sleep last night
without my own thoughts suffocating me
pulling me into the darkness
and leaving me breathless from anxiety
at 2 a.m.

I dreamed
that my uncle turned against me
and the night before,
a murderer was on the loose

But I can confidently wake up and say
I had a good sleep
ignoring my subconsciousness
and the vivid deaths my brain spurred

So I smiled to the snow
and to the frigid cold
that was slowly creeping back
into my fears

Love
is patience
when the summit seems far
eventually
you‘ll get there
gaze at the stars
in wonder
as you did
all the way up
