I adore him
and that is the beginning and end of everything

he is the greatest thing
I never planned

he feels warm and familiar
when I feel most lost

he feels solid and safe
when I’m most vulnerable

he came without warning
and had my heart before I could say no

I promise to trust him
because he always helps me gasp for air
when someone has left me drowning

I will always treasure him
because anywhere that I am held in his arms
feels more like home than any house ever could

it is no surprise I get lost in his blue eyes
I have always feared deep waters
but I long to drown in his ocean eyes

on the day he turns and looks at me
to say “after all this time?”
I will simply gaze back and reply “always”

when I met him
he was easy on the eyes
and by no surprise
his heart had me mesmerised

I adore him
and that is the beginning and end of everything

times spent with you
are times I wish stood still
every second precious
wishing it to was never ending

patterning your spine with my fingertips
delicately because I know you’ve been broken
people have taken all you were willing to give
and offered nothing in return

so all I ask is that you hold me
just the way that you do
until I can return
all of your goodness to you

I will right all of the wrongs of the past
and treasure you like you will be my last
If you need someone to sacrifice oxygen
because you are suffocating
I will hold you
until you catch your breath

im living in euphoria
and i don’t want it to end
magic is seeping from my pores
dazzling everyone around me
with the best version of myself

im all the way up on cloud nine
all i can do is pray i don’t fall
helplessly hoping
i haven’t confused the cloud
for a high horse
because the fall from one
will hurt more than the other

im feeling the happiness flutter in my tummy
it’s pulsating around my veins
i don’t think anyone
could take this feeling away

im happy to announce
i am finally
falling in love with my life
all over again

you’re a shapeshifting demon
and you fooled me for too long
but i’ve ran out of reason
to justify all you’ve done wrong

there was a time that we were friends
sadly there comes a time that everything ends
and you are something i’m glad to leave behind
i truly hope, you look but never find
someone who looks after you like I did

it seems i always play the wrong move
like my life is a chessboard
my peers are somehow always ahead of me

convincing myself I can’t hate the player
only the game
so without working my way around the board
I will lose every time

I have lived my whole life
believing I was going in heavy with a queen
to wake up one day
and realise I was just another pawn

it’s strange to be happy
for the first time in as long as you can remember
helplessly optimistic making everyday sunny

surrounded by good vibes
and only the kindest most selfless people
remembering what it’s all about

truly absorbing the goodness of life
the love of family members
and the feeling of security

i’ve never been here before
in this building where there’s safety on the shelves
consistent happiness hanging in the halls
breathtaking moments you wish you could frame

i’ve never been here before
but i’d love to stay if i could
i’m content here
people are kind
and understanding

i am a stranger to the village of happiness
but this cottage i’ve built
is one i hope to keep forever

I don’t want to get in over my head
and I definitely don’t want to sound cliché
but you know them summer vibes
when you’re making new friends
and that one
that just really makes a print on you

every time you see them you flood with euphoria
their laugh is like ecstasy intoxicating with every giggle
and you find yourself thinking about them
maybe a little more than you should

you’re not sure why
but you can’t deny it
why would you?
it’s clearer than a blue sky

you intoxicate me with happiness
you dance with my heart
and you are so pure

I adore you
I’m not sure in what way
all I know is I want you to stay
