if i’m number one
in your little black book then
i’d rather be none

and just like that, she realized
she was the love she longed for
-

without realizing we have the entire universe within our souls

he lived
through the pages of her journal
the brushstrokes on her canvas
and the scars on her heart

i saw the future within his eyes
but he only saw a pastime in mine

what have i done, it
started with good intentions,
but now i have none

why do you fill my pages with
hopes and dreams
only to rip them right out?

you can't expect your flowers to bloom
if you don't water your own garden

she found peace within his eyes
she found safety within his arms
she found happiness within his soul
she found home within his heart

sometimes life takes good things away
so you can focus on greater things coming
