This might be hard to take
but it's even harder to say, okay
I swear to god that to this day,
my heart still beats a little faster at the thought of your name
and maybe i've lost it and maybe I'm completely insane
but my chest is full of dark blue butterflies,
and when you smile they all ignite
into little blue flames,
like beacons in the night inside my chest.
When you're here my soul smiles bright,
it's like you're my human sized night light
but for my mind, and
when the thoughts get a little too intertwined
you're there to untangle them,
untangle the hem that's unraveling the edges of my mind like my favourite sweater,
and you put me back together.
I don't know where i'd be if i'd never met your face,
if I never heard your story, 
if we'd never been at the right place, at the right time,
if i'd never organized my thoughts and said hello.
it has absolutely no rhyme scheme but it's sorta clever i suppose and i like it quite a bit.
