why else would you have been given
this soft and tender heart if you weren't
meant to make it softer here for other tender hearts…
the way you feel so much helps someone else
who feels so much… feel less alone.
why else would you have been given
this poetry heart that loves true and deep
and beautifully wild if you weren't meant to
be loved true and deep and beautifully wild,
and to be kissed like wildfire by someone
who sees you as art.
why else would you have been given
this wildflower energy if you weren't meant to
run free in the sunlight and get drunk on the moonlight
and be kissed by the starlight… there's a world
outside and you need it in your veins.
why else would you have been given
this passionate ache inside for it if you weren't
meant to know it and tangibly hold it…. dreams are
dreams on purpose. aches are in us on purpose.
your heart reaches for it on purpose…
and because your soul remembers it.
i just don't think the universe is making mistakes
with our hearts and souls…
so why else love if not to feel stars
exploding in our veins… because why else are
we here if not to live with unreasonable
passion for things.
