because she makes me feel as peaceful as a lilly soaking up the sun, i could lay with her for hours, bare, even when i feel so lackluster, and she makes me feel like i could melt into the sheets beneath me, melt with her, to remind myself that even in the silkiness as we melt i must remember she still holds a flickering flame, but when i lay with her i feel like i can finally exhale after all these years, to remind my 15 year old self that it will all be alright, maybe i should reconsider; people are boring and she is a fire that i will always follow.
