you soften me….

you soften me.

– butterflies rising

the way you are…
how much you feel,
how you move, how you love…
you are such light. such brilliant light.
you are meant to be with someone
who is shifted by you,
whose soul is here to be shaken by you,
don’t waste one more tender breath
that you have in your chest on
someone who was only ever there
to break your heart.

i just like your way,
the way you feel, how you are,
who you are… i’m just drawn to you.

– butterflies rising

you are so wildly beautiful in all of
the ways i could ever imagine for
someone to be beautiful

– butterflies rising

i keep
falling,
and feeling,
and loving too much,
but isn’t feeling it all
existence

– butterflies rising

you have
such strong hands,
but my heart is such a soft thing,
so this could go one of two ways…

you could crush it
with the weight of all you are,
or maybe those strong hands could take
such a fragile thing
and hold it safe with the weight
of all you are
