i think i made you up inside my head

there’s something about you that makes me want to be better. i look at you working so hard and achieving all of your goals and it makes me want to do the same. i want to be the best version of myself for you because you look at me and i know i can be.

there’s this thing about getting older, life changes in the blink of an eye. i could have sworn we were still the love struck teenagers who believed their love could concur the earth. blinded by their feelings, convinced the power of their love could do anything. but looking at us now things have changed. we will never be those kids again. but i love who we are now. who we are becoming.

“Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.”

“And when I drove to the seafront to find myself in the comforting silence of waves rolling to the shore the ocean screamed your name.”

Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.

“I fall in love so easily. Maybe that’s why I built the walls massive and secure and the trenches so deep, maybe that is why I was hesitant to let you in. Because; The first time I met the ocean, he waved to me, then pulled me in- ankles first and heart second. The first time I met the moon- I mean the first time I really saw it glistening in the sky and kissing the stars- I fell for him too. The first time I met the mountain-tops with their vast glorious peaks, they captivated me like nothing else, and I felt myself entertaining a new passion for their immense beauty. I thought all that was enough- I didn’t think I needed more But then, I met you. and the first time I met you your deep ocean eyes wrapped me up like a high tide, your glistening smile created this instant demand for your lips, and when you did kiss me- they brought me to heights mountains couldn’t touch. The first time I met you; I saw myself falling again for the last time.”
