five things i want him to know

1. Maybe I'll never be able to meet your skin, but a photograph seems to work just as well.

2. I scratch and rub the old away, and your sweet nothings cover me in a sheen of new so shimmery I dare to compare it to starlight.

3. You remind me of a sandy beach, blue ocean, and whipping winds that could knock me off my feet if it tried hard enough.

Hey, are you even trying?

4. I've come to realize, maybe a bit late, that you're whirlwind uncontrollable by any human hand. I hope there's some Jesus workin' somewhere in there.

5. Every cliche I've ever complained about makes total sense now. I'd never tell you this.
