i wish i could explain your smile,

and how it cures me when i’m down.


i wish i could explain

the small things you do,

and how it makes me smile

when i have no reason to.


i wish i could explain

the sound of your voice,

and how it calms my aching heart.


i wish i could explain your laugh,

and how it makes any

tiring day bearable.


i wish i could explain you.

and how just seeing you

makes me feel at home

and complete.

will my rib cage

ever get tired of

protecting this foolish heart

that keeps on

beating for

wrong people?

if i could turn back

to the day we met

i’d make sure to care for you

to cherish you

to appreciate you

that’s what you deserve

to experience the things

i didn’t do

i woke up today

thinking

of a way to improve

for tomorrow

even though tomorrow

is still a day when

everyone disapproves
