DYLAN CARRTER REDSHAW
I know you are not just soft
Like everything I know you are Opposite I know you are the sun and the moon and the stars and the dark and the waves and the park and so I visit you even when our bodies are far.
I know about your strong and I want to meet every past version of you
I want to kiss in your childhood bedroom and prove you always deserved it. I know you want to be silent and I know you want to scream and I know you’re silly and serious and scared and sacred and selfless and words could never do you justice but I want you to see what I see.
You don’t need to explain yourself to me but I
Crave Your Explanations
For Everything
Whatever you want to say
Whatever you Need
Whatever you have the words for
I will listen.
You do not have to apologize for feeling
Surprisingly
You do not have to beg me to care
You are allowed to be messy
But I know why you are soft.
You are Braver than a World that worked so hard to make you Opposite
And You Are Everything
Shooting stars and lightning and fate and randomness and rainbows and ART and oceans of gold and every creature every crystal every color every stick and stone
You’re karma
You’re an angel at the disco
You’re my knight in shining armor
You’re the maestro and the music and the muse and the meaning
You are all the reason I need to rhyme
You are a dream I refuse to stop dreaming
I know you are small and I could lift you off the ground and I know you are larger and more meaningful than the entire universe-even the unobservable bits- and I don’t usually fuck with all this meaning but I mean it- and I can’t believe I found you out here In the middle of nowhere
All the pieces of you fit inside
I don’t have to reorganize
I could make your load a little lighter
I won’t get tired of who you are
(I could never get bored of the stars)
Here is my heart.
I want to handle with care all of your soft and all of your strong if you let me
