for herself…

she needs to become who she needs to be for herself before she can ever be anything for you.

you said,
tell me where you’ve been, love

and i thought of all the lost roads,
and dark corners,
and heavy work, and heartbreak,
and of all the healing

and i just said…
on my way here

– butterflies rising

her,
because she
makes life poetry,
she turns every bit
of it into art

– butterflies rising

i want to melt
into you like wild honey,
you feel like summer sun

– butterflies rising

she’s not here just to be
a supporting character in your story…

she has her own entire story
to live too.

my axis pulls and pulls to
wherever you are

– butterflies rising

…that soft, slow “baby” late at night

– butterflies rising

you’re somewhere
in this world,
and i’m somewhere
else in this world,
and there’s this
feeling in my soul,
and i hope it gets to you

– butterflies rising

go with me
everywhere in the world,
bare skin in sunshine,
lost under moonshine,
let’s go

– butterflies rising

people say they want love,
but they go into relationships asking…

what can you do for me?
what can i get out of you?
who can you be for me?

that’s need. and i just think love is
something different. i think it asks different
questions. i think it looks for different things.
like…

what is this feeling with you?
what can unfold between us?
i want to know who you are.

– butterflies rising

and when it ends…
i don’t know if there’s anything
harder to let go of than the way a song
makes you feel about them

– when a music lover loves
