You know what?

I needed this.

I needed someone to push me again.

Even though you don’t know I exist,

All your achievements

Whatever you do well

I will take note of

And attempt.

I was once a girl in love with a flower,

delicate and soft.

So I picked this flower and brought it home,

deciding it was better off with me.

If only I knew calamity would follow

if the flower was no longer free.

laughter loud

happiness fulfilled

smiles wide

hearts still

public places

not stopping us now

still laughing

laughing loud

you're not

leaving yet. no,

i'll glue your limbs to the pavement,

lower your waving hand,

tell you

something to make your eyes crinkle

again.

again,

again,

again.

I am with my best friend, at her kitchen table, trying to tell her about a hard time I'm having.

I have this dream

where the sky is dark,

moon illuminating,

faded stars surrounding it,

that I gaze at from 

the top of my roof.
