with my heart and soul,
i love you,
and with that i can be free

i mean,
it's all good.
i say, as i stare into the abyss,
listening to your music.
i'm not being dramatic,
at least i don't think,
because i've never really felt like this before.
your smile is kinda neat.
you're on my mind constantly,
but it's all good.

i sit,
staring out the windows as if i'm in some dramatic music video.
i ponder the inevitability of human toil and pain.
i ponder the deep truth that i will never be good enough for myself.
i ponder the future, past, and present.
but bro sometimes it's really not that deep.

my little ray of sunshine,
my heart is full of sunlight and fire,
and when you are feeling blue,
and your eyes are filled with broken dreams, know that i am with you
always.

isn't it funny
how one day you're here
but the next you're gone
how one day you're my rock
but the next you're like sand
isn't it funny

and she knew that somewhere deep inside
the sun shines through her tears
and the wind whispers
it is well

when we met, i expected nothing,
as you should when you meet a new human being.
no expectations, no let downs.
that's the way it works.

when we met, i saw the passion in you,
to be better than anyone before,
to be more than what anyone thinks of you.
but it's not so easy.

when we met, i saw the sparkle in your eye
of something new to be discovered.
of course,
you'd be the person to uncover it.

as i got to know you, i divulged in the truth that
you aren't like everyone else.
but what you didn't realize was
that's not a bad thing.

as i got to know you, i uncovered the insecurities
beneath your skin.
the subconscious thoughts that bar your confidence,
that overwhelm your soul.

now that i know you, i understand that
it's okay to be different.
it's okay to be miles into the race
when everyone else is just starting.

now that i know you, i get that sometimes
you're a little difficult,
stubborn, and strong-willed,
but it's okay, sweet pea.

now that i know you, i'm okay with you.
you're crazy and funny and emotional
and everything in between.
but you're you, and that's alright with me.

now that i know me, i get me.
my mama always said,
it'll get better one day.
now, i finally believe her.

my mind wanders.
my heart beats.
my soul breathes.
