i've been told you're the
company you keep, and
with that being said,
i'm glad i've been keeping yours.
the more i get to know you,
the more i feel like there
are layers to you
that are soft,
and gentle,
and worth discovering.
i'm full of shadows.
the circles around my eyes
are stamps
of the love i left
behind, but somehow,
you make me feel like light
like a lunar glow
like someone.
there's something special
about you, and
i can see it in the contagion
that's your smile.
the way you say something
and i want to join in.
you're one of the few
people i don't mind
having to look up at.
when i'm with you
i don't mind feeling small.
because it does not
equate
with feeling insignificant.
no, around you i feel safe
you say my name and i feel
important. there's a little light
swallowing my shadows
and it exists because of you.
this life is a slippery *****
of mistakes and fears,
and i don't own much.
you make me
forget
i've ever wanted
to share with anyone
else.
because for the first time
in ages
i feel
like someone.
i just realized i might like someone who isn't "half crush" or my almost lover exish guy that i've been writing about this past like four-ish months.
this title is so risky and this poem is cringey but my heart wanted to write this.
so yeah i'm confused, but how are you? ❤
