i just like good souls,
knowing them, being one,
it’s kind of all that really matters

– butterflies rising

the way we
live forever young,
and the way we love…
how it feels like a forever love

we feel infinite

– butterflies rising

i need the grace of it,
this honesty within myself,
so it has to be a home…
even if you might not be careful here.

– vulnerability

i think i melt from authenticity
more than anything

…it’s in the way he walks in
wearing respect like a nice suit

– butterflies rising

and you ask me…
how will i know it’s him
when he comes along?
i’ll know it’s him
by the way he walks in
wearing respect like a nice suit
and holding that
take. it. slow. magic.
with his self-love, self-required,
just radiating liberation from old men’s tales,
and because…
before he lets me love him…
it will matter that i love myself.
