baby, your eyes are my favorite eyes and your nose is my favorite nose and your laugh is my favorite laugh and when i look at you with silly smiles on both our faces my heart skips and my stomach flips over because how incredible it is to exist at the same time as someone so breathtakingly beautiful love, your hands are the softest hands and your hugs are the softest hugs and your kisses are the softest kisses i know and every time i hold you, your head on my chest and my arms around you, i thank every eyelash and every star that i have wished on for letting me love you in this wonderful way darling, your mind is the most fascinating and your arms are the most comforting and every time you say 'i love you' the universe stops time to be infinite in the most perfect way and, baby, that feeling is my favorite.

What Love Is

my english teacher says that metaphors are infinitely more interesting than similes. so i guess people are poetry, then (instead of people are like poetry) because why would you compare if you could bring together? and maybe it's true maybe people are not like anything at all maybe they just are the curves of their arms are soft, light sentences that wrap around your shoulders and say, settle down, love. and their stretched feet are the words that dance across my page and then stop some poems mean nothing and some people mean nothing and some poems mean everything and those poems make you want to reach for the sun or those poems make you want to fold yourself up and put yourself away or those poems make you want to keep reading again and again and again because they're so beautiful and when you lose those poems it fucking hurts.

the rain is soft and the stars are out and she's making me smile like a little kid.

let me be clear, i am not trying to be political, i am only trying to exist. but did you know that when i was fourteen years old i looked at a girl and i couldn't breathe. and those who know will understand, that we are not trying to be political, we are only trying to exist. and they say the word 'gay' like it's a controversial issue, like 'what is your position on gay marriage,' but i am not trying to be political, i am only trying to exist. and they talk about religious freedom, and then right to express their beliefs. okay. but I thought people had rights, not ideas. and they don't understand that i am not trying to be political, i am only trying to exist. so when people used to ask me 'do you have a boyfriend?' or 'are you interested in any boys?' i never knew what to say, because if i told them they would think i was trying to be political, but i am only trying to exist. and i want things to be okay, all okay, for us, i don't want to be a political issue or a debate point or a supreme court decision because i am not trying to be political, i am only trying to exist.
