He’s probably not everything I’ve ever wanted Pompous and overbold, he shines too bright, Like he’s some star that refuses to die, An insignificant blinking wanting to conquer the universe. It hurts to watch him, a fragile twinkle who’s so desperate to encompass his Struggles, to survive, to not fall apart to his weaknesses. He believes “talent is something you make bloom” Obsessive, compulsive, the only things he makes bloom are The tired lavenders under his eyes and angry blues on his knees, the colors fading and reappearing Remind me of when days turn into nights, nights into days. Reckless and confident, he makes me want to punch him He’s a train wreck happening, a shooting star hurling through space, When I find him, he’ll be in pieces, and I’ll have to hold him together He’s a constant motion, an existence that weighs like the whole world when he leans his forehead onto mine, and I tremble in his arms because I can’t stop him He hides his daily torture through high-pitched whines and flashy smiles, As if he’s the center of the universe, when all he is is matter being absorbed into a black hole. Pretentious and annoying and troublesome and stupid and dumb and _more than enough_ I gravitate to him, he keeps me afloat When I stare into his eyes I see galaxies When I hold his hands Supernovas form When he wraps me in his chest of insecurities, I feel the planets align When he kisses me, I know a stellar collision has happened. If that isn’t enough proof, My heart, in all its stardust, a living form of space, Pulses and radiates, in sync with the universe’s heartbeat, A steady affirmation that yes, He’s not everything I want But he’s everything I need
