DAY 3 // Spent a lot of hours writing sappy love poems today. Actually very therapeutic and fun lol.
//
You always loved the mornings
Because you preferred dreaming in the light
Something about those daily beginnings
Always dawned more visions for you than night
You let the sunrise cover you
With more warmth than our sheets
And you preferred the misty air
To kiss up on your cheeks
The morning earth was your muse
More than I ever was
The tension between our bodies at night
Showed you what settling really does
I know why you loved the mornings
It freed you from that place
Your soul learned to dream with eyes open
Rather than inches from my face
I knew you were meant for more than me
But neither of us would admit it
For I was holding you back in life
The world told me I was insufficient
You tried to bring me with you
But my heaviness was hard to lift
You wanted me to see the world like you did
But sweetheart your inner vision is a gift
I’m sorry I could never be enough
To keep up with the beauty in that brain
Your love stayed for potential
While mine simply had nothing more to gain
I know why you loved the mornings
But maybe now you can love the night
You’ll have space to dream in the darkness
With just the moon holding you tight
I made you into a daydreamer
Instead of letting you run free
I’m learning to like the mornings,
Even if my best ones are behind me.
