there is beauty in your eyes, the kind that i want to keep for myself inside of a poem, inside of a book, on my favorite chapter, inside of a flower petal, so that when it blooms, you’re right there for the whole even. sometimes when i surrender my worth to the stars-- they shoot one back to earth. there is beauty in your smile, the kind that i want to see when i just wake up from a long night. i know that we’re always chasing after love, but i think this time i may have found it. inside of the mirror, inside of myself-- you are loved. there is forgiveness in your voice, a kind photograph that has kept my creases tender. I know we talk about the future like we haven't already signed our names away. there is forgiveness in the way you wear your skin - an umbrella for regrets to get wet. and though some loves are so big the implosion breaks you to pieces when they are gone and you never recover, I love you beyond your words. I love you all the way to where your words are born.
