and the way they sparkled,

i knew they belonged

to someone else

let his actions

speak "i love you"

louder than

every sweet word

he showers you with

it will be me loving so hard

like i always do

without losing myself

like i used to

when she realizes she is everything

more than just skin and heartbeat

and it happens the moment

she starts to love herself right

the moment i start expecting others

to take care of it

i say of course there is

the good is i can finally flee myself

from a devastating person

to be brought to the right one,

i must say it's bitter at first

but it will be paid off in the end

for you are the brightest lustrous star

don't ever let anything or anyone dim your light

"You", i replied with no doubt

you're both a disaster and such a blessing

fetching as always, no end

charismatic like nine times out of ten

didn't think this would be

love plus stress galore

in terms of dyingly enamored

we aren't in the same room

for god's sake now i really wish we were

i crave your hand swirls my hair

you imagine your favorite

licorice candy sticks

while i can't help to blow your cherry lips

hear you say you love me too in the middle

with a light snazzy giggle

i need you close, come over pull me in

i need us skin to skin

i'm talking a true romance

take this chance, shouldn't think twice

fulfill what's my teenage fantasy

oh pretty boy you liable for this lunacy

not only about me growing

it's the day to celebrate my achievement

for getting tougher, wiser, bolder

i learn daily to open my eyes to notice

every single thing in my life is fully God's favor

and i feel like i'm collecting blessings

that i must be thankful for

so today, on the same date, every year

i want to thank the girl in me

for always doing the best she can

i wish her long journey would take her

to where joy is

terrene browny eyes

meet the flaxen rays of sunlight

the color of cinnamon roll

with glossy walnut flecks against honey

an intact combination fused

into the same shade as autumn

that keeps me down to earth

roaming to go stray

i forget my curiosity about

drowning in the ocean blue ones

of wanting to pick up the phone

only to call you

you have no idea

the dilemma i have to face

in the midst of keep telling

myself not to

i always nearly do
