I wish it was easy for me to do what you do,
But I have never been very good at opening myself up.
You do it with such elegance.
Your every word begs for attention and leaks a little of you into the air.
People breathe you like oxygen,
and have come to need you even more.
Life.
Your eyes tell me what mine could be like
If I dared to follow in your
Rebellious, graceful,
Albeit complicated footsteps;
once again you are the first one on the dance floor,
But the beat I hear most clearly when I'm around you
Is not the one you inspire Club One to clap to.
One million loose-lipped ladies and never a line about you,
because no one has it in them to talk about what isn't in you.
You are a poet's dream.
You are pure beauty in its rarest form--sincerity.
You are every coin thrown in a hat,
every victory yell,
every unexpected smile at the turn of something new,
every bird who refuses to fly in a pattern.
You are what's inside every note.
You are fiercely loved.
You are frustratingly, and unfathomably,
too good for words.
and only the sunshine deserves you.
