love letter.

He said,
(you're) a moon rock in my asteroid field, stardust inside my wand.
I said,
listen here, wave-breaker. I'm not amazing as moon rock or fragile as a speck of dust but thanks for (the) compliment I guess.
I'm not either of those things and that's just because, if I could be anything, I would be coal and if I had to name a million reasons why, YOU would be (best) at the top.

If I could be any(thing), I'd want to be your coal.

I'm not asking for much
but a couple of lumps and bumps upon the surface and some powder
on my surface that sticks; I want to taint your hands with black. I want it to
seep
under your fingernails and I want to
bury
my way into the caverns of your heart.
To make myself a home in there is all I seek; to
just
curl
up there and stay the night or two or three, or maybe
seventeen
because (that's) one of my favorite numbers.
But he already knew that by now.

I wouldn't hurt you if you
let me
have a little
place, a little corner of your
universe
to myself. I can sit quietly if that is what
you
please, I'll cry with
you (ever)ryday
if that's what
you
need, and I'll always be there because somebody up there knows
you're all I see.

It will take a little bit, but I think that after a while,
maybe,
possibly,
after
twenty-one
or
so
days,
I would reemerge from the depths of your
soul
to find that all that's (happened)
is that I appear
no different
to the rest of the world than I ever was before.
Still just a lump of grimy old coal off (to) go
soil your clothing
again whenever you get close, so
god forbid it. don't talk.

In the one moment where he pushes my hair from my eyes
and looks at me like I'm the freaking reason the Earth is still in
orbit,
there's something else in his eyes that tells (me) he sees what everybody else struggles to
glimpse.
"You're a diamond pulled from moon rock, the reason my stardust exists(,)" his lips whisper to mine.






So take Me into your unIverse, take me and never let me go; I've searCHed waited too long for flowers to grow Around my feet. Intertwine your supernova arms around mine and for thE first time I don't care if I don't shine to anybody else here in the whole fucking worLd.
