Oh baby you are what they always told me about.

She reminds me of sunflowers when she faced the light she bloomed.

She showed me that real love does not hurt, it heals.

At night when I can’t sleep, I imagine I’m a sunflower trying to find the light to nourish my growth.

Your love has rebirthed me.

The most peace I’ve ever felt was from letting you go.

She burns like hot water then tastes like sweet tea.

To cry means that you are feeling as much as you possibly can in that moment and that is exactly what I mean when I say you are alive.

He wanted to cry quietly but not for himself: for the words, so beautiful and sad, like music.
