Pillow Thoughts

by Courtney Peppernell

I think if you let me, I’d build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as you.

If I loved you, then you’d become my balloon. I’d tie your string to my finger, and I’d never let you float away. Until one day, when you wanted, we’d float away together.

Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs.
