It’s enough, and so are you.

I’d count the stars
for you.

Sit on the sun
and melt the world

much like you do
when I’m with you.

Because I melt
with the world

when you speak
like you do.

I’d connect all the stars
for you.

Capture a supernova
in a bottle

hoping I could
show you

how far through
space & time

I’d have to go
to find anything

even close to being
as lovely as you.

Because you shine
brighter than any

gorgeous and sparkling
explosion of stars.

I could write you
a beautiful poem

with all of these
connected stars,

and show you how
you are more beautiful

than anything I could write
with a billion constellations.

Because you are
all of these stars,

and I am the sky,
how we hold each other

together.

I’d count the stars
for you.

Write your name
in this heart shaped

constellation
you call home.

i try to nap my days away
with you,
eyelids heavy
like bricks
pulling them to,
how I always
want to be next to you.

every time you
hold my hand,
the bricks lose their weight,
but i start to dream of you,
a daydream where
i don’t believe you’re true,
how I’d give you
all my time
just to be with you.

this ocean current love
im sleepily passing through,
your arms a float,
and im passing out
from the warmth of
your sunshining through.
how I melt in your presence,
but my arrogance
will take a minute or two.

i don’t want to sound cliche,
but i can’t help falling
for you every single day,
a vast expanse
under a thousand stars,
at least a few will fall
to see your beauty, so raw.

you sleep my nights away
next to you, im wide awake.
a dream becomes a memory
where delusions are no fun.
i pour out my soul to you,
when you were sleeping
because im scared of your response,
sarcasm or wit,
love and repair,
ill burn if you speak.

i sleep on rainy days,
every rain droplet,
a piece of my mind,
ive nothing left
inside,
you are all that i am,

a lion with a raw beauty inside.
