Under the influence

moon boy🌙

There's something so homey about you , about the way you smile at me teasingly when I have a crush , about the way you hold me close when my heart has been crushed.

I love our late nights , when the sky is quite and our voices are heard into the morning whispering out our biggest fears. I love when you and I are in a haze of medication , when the weed we inhale and exhale makes us giggle uncontrollably and connect in a way that has me momentarily sobering up. I adore the nights when our legs are tangled up and I can collapse into the soft melodies of your breath as you drift off into sleep.

You never judge me for my uncertainty , you never make my heart feel miniscule when tears spill softly from my eyes. I get so high , I get so sad , I crumble in between the walls of my bedroom and you catch me every single time. You are magic , I see it in the way you drift away in a room over flowing with extroverted people. I see it in your goofy interior , when the awkwardness surrounds us and you crack a joke that's so lame but has my insides dancing.

You give me structure , when I am lost in my cloud of procrastination , when I want to fade away in my depression. You infuriate me , when you stumble in insecurity and fear of being categorised and judged.

You do not have to be afraid , you know I will fight the monsters hiding under your bed. Take me to the moon , let's make a place for our souls to lay to rest.
