so guys, i found this poem on instagram, it doesn’t have a source unfortunately but i really liked it so imma share it with all of you :)
how to measure the universe with a ruler
when i dance with him he makes me feel like I’m floating far out in the ocean no one else is within ten thousand miles the sun is setting and the sky is turning too many shades of pink to count i feel like i will be floating there for as long as it takes to drink the ocean dry
and when i am in his arms, i feel like I’ve sunken into the deepest reaches of the sea and when i get to the bottom i finally open my eyes and instead of the unease i expected, i find comfort in the quiet darkness and the well known rhythm of his heartbeat and the waves
and when i kiss him, my heart races so rapidly and i can feel my feet itching to propel me back towards the surface and i burst through into the familiar air, and it feels like a gust of warm wind has given me the energy to fly over the magnificent reaches of the sea
and when he looks at me, the way he looks at the beautiful mystery of the night sky or simply his best friends smiling, it makes me feel like i can glide to the very edge of the earth and step into space, and hang there with the stars, suspended in space and time i feel like i will be floating there for as long as it takes to measure the universe with a ruler.
