you. everything about you. comes so naturally to me.

the words. they are in love with you.

i am mine. before i am ever anyone else’s.

(the kind of love that loves a writer when they cannot write.)

i believe that everyone in the world. has one poem. that is their soulmate.

when writing. there comes a time. when you must let the writers you love. go.
