slow to anger and frustration
quick to show kindess and love

you're not perfect my dear,
but i still want your hand in mine.

everything you hate about yourself,
i so love.

the way you ramble and stumble over your words
when you're nervous or don't know what to say,
i could listen to that all day.

your sweet eyes and gentle soul,
i've never seen anything so pure.

you're the good one,
and i hope i don't lose you.

so far the distance has brought us only closer,
but who knows as time goes on what the future will bring?

the anxieties of love

why is it that every time a guy shows interest
i turn away
my instinct is to run away
am i scared of getting hurt?
or is it more than that?
i want someone to hold
but i'm scared i won't be enough for them
what if i fail?
they find out who i really am
and they run away from me.
what if
what if

michigan

i didn't want to be like her,
i didn't want to belong,
be stuck somewhere,
i saw how much it tore her apart
and wore her down,
but maybe i just didn't want
to feel at home
i wanted to wander
so it's easier to say goodbye
but Michigan,
you crept into my heart
and dug your heals in my vains
you're there,
but i'm not with you.

you.

i thought i'd met kindness in a man's eyes before,
and then i met you.

without being asked,
you pick up my shoes,
you're ready to help,
and to love on others.

i thought i'd met humility before,
and then i met you.

you don't even know how kind, funny,
and special you are.

i barely know you,
and i'm already amazed by
you.

what could've been

im leaving soon
so i took a chance.

ill admit, the first time we hung out,
it wasn't the best,
but this second time,
made my heart glow.
hours later i was still smiling.

if only i was staying.
we could seek this out.
maybe it wouldn't turn into anything.
but maybe it would be something amazing.
i'm not going too far,
but maybe the distance is stopping you
from pursuing this.

when im with you it feels like
you might feel it too.
but maybe it's all in my head

if i don't know me,
how can anyone else?
if i don't love me,
how can anyone else?

i spend so much time on others,
i've forgotten to listen
and to love myself.

empath

i get so focused on the people around me
i lose sight of who i am
ill do almost anything to love on others
and to get their approval
but what do i think of me?
who am i at the end of the day?
