I call you a lot of silly nicknames and joke whenever I want to
Consume all my hours writing short stories for you to read ;
It never occured to me that one day I can't speak properly
That one day I wake up to realize you're all I need.
I wish I could at least put a name to this poem, wish I could send this directly to you
To walk on a rainbow is not as safe as it looks like ;
I can't help but feel all anxious about this space we're in
People don't know this is about you
There's everybody else here, but this is only for our eyes.
There has never been a day when all I wish is that I fall and sink into an ocean
No corals, no sand, the sunlight just above me ;
Drown me softly, kill me slowly
The clouds explode into orange butterflies suddenly.
Like the character in a typical coming of age movie, I skip down my own paved sidewalk
Unsure if the stars aren't just the street lamps, I wandered in a forest that doesn't exist ;
But with you, I changed, a new identity bloomed in me
You add a new color to my rainbow, you open up the doors to my closet.
It could've been easy if everybody knew
You're louder than the broken speakers playing my song ;
I watch you dancing with someone else
You dance to what you didn't know, was my song.
It's okay now, fall asleep in a bed of flower petals
It's okay now that I can't be in love in a bad night's sleep ;
To hold on takes strength, but to let go darkens the sky
May the rain wash it all away, let it drown me so deep.
