Everything
October 9, 2017
He is a cage of butterflies
And as they bat their wings
Against the metal rods
He pulls at my heartstrings
He is unknowingly an old soul
Within him lies the gentlest heart
His fingers trace my edges
As if he's known them from the very start
I curl at his touch
A tingle left behind
He whispers in my ear
His words echo in my mind
I've tried to find
A heart as gentle
A mind as intelligent
But I simply cannot settle
Still, he is everything
I have been looking for
He found the key I lost before
Without knowing, he swings open the door
And his heart is pure
His love is kind
I'm in love with his spirit
I'm in love with his mind

Being a teenager, I had always believed I was too young to fall in love or to date, that I was too young and naive to love someone. The day I had admitted to myself I had fallen in love, I wrote this piece. I had found that this person had shown me what it was like to want to be better for someone else, and it still sticks with me to this day. Even though this person and I are no longer together, they have made a big impact on my life and how I view love today. This includes loving yourself in order to receive the type of love you are wanting.
