Before you— I was a constellation of blisters and bruises. Now— life is full of sunshine and sunflowers.

I fell for you like gravity had let go of the Earth.

I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared. And when I dream, I’ll dream of you. Because it’s about you, it’s always about you.

You'd say she's beautiful if you saw her, but you wouldn't understand everything that she is. When I look at her, I look past the golden tone of her skin, and I see the sunshine within her smile, I see worlds within her eyes that I wish to explore. I feel the stars tangled between our fingers while I hold her hand, and I feel the rush of blood to my heart at the sound of her laughter. I look past the beauty which the world sees, because beyond that is a soul full of passion and fire, a raw beauty which if you could feel it, you'd fall in love too.

This time it was different. She didn't need to say "I love you", because I could see those three lovely words dancing in her eyes, and I only hoped she could also see them in mine, for I knew I had found the heart which beats to the rhythm of my own.

You have me now, tomorrow, and all the days after.

Tonight, the sky looks beautiful, the stars twinkling. Just like you did, the first time we met, your eyes sparkling.

I didn't know it before, but now I realise I was only born loving the stars because they hold pieces of you within them.
