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.
