the morning after a long night of sadness
in which you finally tricked your mind at four a.m. to repress
the deepest thoughts that tangle in your hair

you wake up to find your dreamworld is only that
and your real-world is merely what it is.

the moon will shine again,
so i keep everything tucked in my pillowcase
in hopes i can return again.
is this too confusing?

here's to the moments when
you're so in love that it consumes you
like falling into a bottomless pit
that leads to nowhere.

and you know no one can save you,
not even yourself.
love, my dear

purest flowing clarity
resembling the innocence of a child's soul
lies in the muddiest and cloudiest
rivers

within us all.
it flows within our veins

if you only let the light shine through.

i feel farther from you
that even though these 3000 miles are what separates us
my heart is still

even farther away.
long distance, i feel like i'm trapped because it's convenient, yet inconvenient all at the same time.

the stars were pale dots in the sky
so faraway

and in this corner of this star's surrounding dust
was a girl in love.

such an indescribable feeling
she wondered if the other tiny dust around those faraway stars
also felt the same.

doesn't it seem today
that the air blows
a different way?

almost telling me that
today is not yesterday ~
times change, so will us all

You
It’s you
It’s always been you
In the ever changing universe

You’re the only constant thing
Like nature gave you a purpose on this earth...
Always been always will
