on sleepless nights
when the stars whisper secrets
to the moon
i think
of a girl
i think
of a girl
who greets the rising sun
with a smile
enthusiastic and strong
i think
of a girl
who embraces herself
passionate and unique
like your most favorite song
i think
of a girl
who is sure of her beliefs
and stands up for what's right
unapologetically with honor
i think
of a girl
who demonstrates love
without prejudice or bias
even to the people who have wronged her
i think
of a girl
who is humble
yet defends herself
and is sure of her worth
i think
of a girl
who dances in the rain
lives in the moment
and cherishes the earth
i think
of a girl
who chases the things
that feed her soul
with everything she has to give
i think
of a girl
who isn't just alive
doesn't just exist
but truly lives.
and after those sleepless nights
when the sun rises
and the grass coughs
in the morning dew
i realize
that girl
is lying there
thinking there with me too
i realize
at the core of my being
i am
that girl
about whom i lie at night dreaming
i love
that girl
with all of the love she requires
i love her flaws
i love her quirks
i love her desires
i love her cuts
i love her bruises
i love her scars
i love these things
because they make up her heart
my heart
our heart
i love our heart
