stop apologizing stop apologizing for being yourself stop apologizing for being sad sometimes stop apologizing for the way you look or act or talk or kiss so look at me up blue to blue and tell me you're not sorry. not sorry for who you are unapologetic in your beauty where hair falls on shoulders next to a freckled face that resembles my vision of true art you you are what happens when the moon rises above the horizon pushing and pulling the tides like heart strings mine stings at your absence. the moon is not sorry. it simply is as you should be. fractured during times but pieced together in the sky when together with the sun it mimes to us without words moving the planet ever so slightly lightly kiss me under it and stop breathe. stop apologizing. be who you are. bold, beautiful, smart, ****, cheeky, funny, loving, warm these words and more, in my own mental dictionary have your face plastered permanently next to them and so i understand these words not by definition but by example. but by you.
