------

dance with me

while moonlight

drips down

through the treetops

with the gentleness

of an angel's song,

and

spills

across our shoulders,

shimmering

against the inky waves

of your wildly tamed hair

that traps soft dreams

in its dark depths—

starless, reckless

raven-haired depths

that the sun can thread

its fingers through

come morning

drag me into a waltz

where i can step on your toes

while you whisper rambled prose

into my ear

with your breath

like the first wave

of summer air

closing in and wrapping

its arms around you

with a kiss that tastes

like sweetened sun

and dandelion hope

that can heal

any stone cold heart

with just one touch,

or from you—

one word,

because your words

have always touched me

like how fingertips

trail across skin,

leaving goosebumps

in its wake

love,

mari

written for a girl who spent time on her hair for a seven minute video call:) your eyeliner was on fleek too btw<3

also- SEVEN MINUTES?! no one can keep me on a call for that long. i'm surprised my social anxiety didn't just hang up for me. 

i also wonder if you're going to read this. i'm too shy to tag you so i'll just let fate decide;) i was also too shy to say that i love your smile. so, i just want to let you know that i think it's beautiful.
