we were wet autumn leaves,
hanging side by side
from the highest branch
of an old maple tree
with a magnificent view
of city life.
the cold breeze swayed
us back and forth,
softly pressing us together.
you admired my yellow tint
as i loved your red glow
and the thin veins that
spread throughout
your delicate body.
it was all perfect enough
to make of forget
that autumn stood for decay
and to make us feel
like we were infinite.

it’s painful to see how our generation has become so afraid of being judged for eating and gaining a bit of weight that we’d rather starve ourselves to the point of sickness than live healthy lives. so many people bending and breaking themselves over what we have lead ourselves to believe should be considered as beautiful.

it’s painful to see how the word ‘love’ has lost  of all it’s meaning after it has been flung around and stepped on countless times. we have all lost our grasp on what being happy together was supposed to mean.

it’s painful to see how many of us have forgotten the meaning of valuing ourselves; everyone is out drinking themselves into comas, drowning their lungs in smoke and waking up in places they've never been before with no recollection of the events that have taken place the night before.

I want to be the type of boyfriend
most girls can only dream of having.
I want being with me to feel
like you're living a fantasy.

I promise that I will protect you
from all danger with my arms
and catch your tears with my shirt
when you feel alone.

I will lift you off the ground
like you're weightless and kiss you
like my life depended on it.

I'll be difficult to control,
but easy enough to make you feel
like you're in charge once in a while.

I won't ever be ashamed to tell you
that I love you in front of his friends.
I will show you off to the world,
because you are the best thing
that ever happened to me.

And I will do my best to be the same for you,
because a girl like you deserves
nothing but the best.

I still don't understand how
I just woke up one day and knew
exactly who I wanted to be with
for the rest of my life.

It's strange, because it wasn't a
progress. It just happened.
I was suddenly magnetically drawn
to you; I didn't feel at home if you
were too far away.

Words somehow started to sound like
your name. I became numb, deaf and
blind to everything around me,
because all I wanted to see is your face,
all I wanted to hear is your voice and
all I want to feel was your touch.

I've been told falling in love was a treacherous journey,
but with you,
it felt like a merry boat ride.
