admit that

it does feel good to know that

someone who is beautiful

cares about you

someone who speaks warmly 

to you, if even through a wall

and certainly through a window

 

there are lights that are proud of their tones,

if even there is 

someone who calls themselves brighter,

it does feel good to be 

a person who will not dim for 

anyone else’s shine

 

find heart in the places that still fill

call it moat when it looks like lazy river

it might be a seed but 

those grow almost every time

she knows that when i feel love, it’s mine
