"Lighten up Francis" -Bill Murray, Stripes

I have you in my head
sitting down

reading
now you're
smiling

looking amused
as you realize

I'm making
you up

It's my hallucination
you'll wear what I say

I like what you had on
yesterday

just in case
you’re in a dark place
and can’t seem
to find a light switch
or matches even
I want you to know
you are loved
maybe not by yourself
yet
but you are
even though it sounds
like a fairytale for now
at some point
you’ll find the light switch
or the matches
and you’ll be able to see
that the fairytale
came true
and you’re the one
that made it happen
