Like Yours

My heart is quite like yours
Sometimes I forget to trust it
Sometimes it works faster than my brain

My tears are quite like yours
I get sad just like you
And then I curl up in bed
Waiting for it to pass

My voice is quite like yours
I speak what I can
And then I just think everything else
Sometimes my words are absorbed
Sometimes they just bounce off others’ ears

My wishes are quite like yours
That I want everything to just be okay
And that I want life to go back to normal

I just want to let you know
That I know we have our differences
But we are going to get through this
Together

    static
    monotone
    predictable

    but it can also be
    dynamic
    ever-changing
    chaotic

    spring is near

    the sun is coming out quickly
    and doesn't leave too soon
    the buds haven't began to blossom
    the trees look a little bare
    but there's a warm-ish breeze in the air
    that tells me spring is near
