You need to hear this one. This is for you. I know that lately your mind has been running faster than a speeding bullet gunning straight for your insecurities and biggest concerns. Check check, can you hear me? I know that you're afraid I'm going to leave because you can't see the things in you that I see, but I'm standing right in front of you and knocking on the door and you need to let me in. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because you don't get the opportunity to see the way the cold night air curls around your hair and makes your face flush with an array of living colors. You can't see how the stars shine a little brighter every time you smile, and you can't possibly hear the way your laugh echoes in the sky and makes the world spin. You can't wrap your head around the fact that when I'm standing next to you my shoulders feel a little lighter, and it's because you make me feel as if the weight of the world has been taken away. Im sure by now you've noticed that every time you walk away I pull you back to me and just a little closer than you were before. I'm sure you're wondering why. Truth be told, the reason is that every time you walk out the door I'm terrified that this will be the last time I'll see you smile bigger than the moon, the last time I stand neck deep in ocean eyes deep enough to get lost in. I wish I could train your eyes to see the things that are actually there, the same way I trained my hands to learn your favorite piano songs and my ears to memorize the sound of your voice when you're happy. But lately your mind has been racing faster than a speeding bullet gunning straight for your insecurities, and you just won't stop to notice how truly special you are. You need to hear this one. This is for you.
