Extraordinary

I knew I had found something extraordinary
When we both looked at the sky
And gazed at the pictures in the clouds
I said it looked like spring
You laughed and saw winter
But I couldn't help but notice
How your eyes sparkled with life, just doused in the coat of a new fallen snow
But inside you felt cold
Freezing from the inside out
Truth was
We were never looking at the sky

You tell me it's okay
But darling, don't you know me better than that
I see you
You.
You're not okay
I see it every time how your eyes flinch when they bring it up
You say you're ordinary, just another speck on the globe
But you are the blood red sunrise
The invisible dawn of a brand new day
A fresh start
A cup of black coffee that smells like new beginnings and life
That raw, preserved emotion you save just for me
I see it all
I see all of you
And I love all of you
Your laugh
Your smile
The way you just are,
Oblivious to the outside oblivion
That drowns and suffocates and mutes a beautiful voice like yours
You are extraordinary
Beautiful
Just keep holding on
Spring is coming

{for my best friend}
