Through My Eyes

Maybe it's your eyes 

Or maybe it's how I wish I could trace my lips down that perfect jawline 

Maybe it's your smile that makes my heart speed up a little more 

Maybe it's your humor and the way you put joy in my heart

Maybe it's your apologies when you've done nothing wrong 

Maybe it's the way I feel as if I could write you a thousand songs 

Something about you is so enticing 

I'm drawn to you like the current of electricity 

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes because if you could you would envision the beauty I see and never again wonder about your adequacy 

Girls

I believe I first fell in love with girls when they saved me.

They loved me when I was incapable of loving myself.

They loved me when I would have rather been 6 feet under than above.

Girls cared for me. Cherished me. Saw my beauty.

Few girls discovered the cuts on my body. 

They saw my scars, saw my flaws, and they stayed. 

I remember you saw the sadness in my eyes and to keep me from carving a picture into my skin you would hold my hand. 

I remember the way your body felt around mine when we fell asleep at night.

I remember the way my heart fluttered for you as you gave me life. 

I remember falling for you without even realizing it 

I believe I really fell in love with girls because they loved me, were there for me, and comforted me at my darkest
