People whose nights last longer than two am.

Hearts that are heavy with unsaid words.

Souls that stare at the stars and wish they could fly,

With beautiful eyes smiling through unshed tears.

Cold hands cradling a half empty glass of regret.

Pale lips parched from one too many drinks of loneliness.

Mouths too dry to let out the emotions stuck in their throats,

Seeing magic in smiles and hearing music in heartbeats

Cheeks stained with tears and crinkles at the corner of their eyes.

Words that speak of countless adventures inside yellow paged books

With eyes shining with secrets found between the lines

Hands stained with the ink and paint of life

People with unsold hearts,

Lost in the simple beauty of a smile,

Ones who laugh and dance and kiss in the rain

Ones who make mix tapes and ones who find poetry in pain

Those who'll go "because beauty is not in the skin, it's in the soul"

Those who smile at serendipity.

Those who are a bit whimsy.

Those who paint music.

Those who get lost in between the notes.

People who know how words take a different shape in the dark.

People who know there are infinite shades of gray between black and white.

Whose lines curve and voices break sometimes.

Whose heart breaks for another and tries to make them smile.

Ones who stare at the ceiling, ones who feel the weight of emptiness

Ones who collect memories, not moments

Ones who enjoy the simple pleasure of appreciating

Those who just want to be cared for

Those who are scarred and scared and still searching

Those who get high on insanely beautiful lies

Those who smoke metaphors and dream of their somewhere on sleepless nights

For whom writing is like bleeding and breathing and just being

For whom too long posts in their newsfeed are okay.

Who remember birthdays without Facebook

Who make handwritten cards and spell out good night.

Who write long letters and treasure polaroids

Who click to keep whiffs of memories alive

People who'll stay up all night with a book

Who'll share a sunrise with the birds

People who know cosmic infinities

And how to listen as well as talk

People like you, people like me.

Those that were, those that will be.

People who say things like I love you.

People who are my kind of beautiful.
