To the girl I am learning to love


Soft skin and curls pressed against collarbones,

You are

Everything.

I will stay

While you soar.

I could cut myself on your eyeliner.

I hope

You wear it more often.


Dewdrops on glasses and rain rumpled hair,

You are

Everything I dream of.

Velvet stained lips

Grace my sleep.

My fingers

Get lost in your hair.

I hope

You unfurl the rainbow flag hiding at the bottom of your dresser.


Chipped nail polish and snowflakes caught in your hair,

You are

Enough.

Your eyes

Will swallow me whole.

You are smiling.

I hope

You are happy.
