Part 1: That day a forest grew


Your words were the seeds imbedded in my mind

I’ve never known what I wanted
But you were the thing I knew I wanted for sure 

Because usually I have so many thoughts running through my mind.
There’s so much haziness, bitterness and anger running through my head
There was so much darkness embedded in my skull

But when I looked at you that all went away
I only saw you. I only thought of you and I only thought of who we could be
On that day I memorized every detail of you

Those sultry lips and evergreen eyes is all it took for me to realize that I found my salvation and it's kept me mesmerized 

I fell even more when I found more value in your mind than in your body
Because there was so many intricacies I loved about you that your beauty was the least interesting thing

You asked me why I loved you and I couldn't find the right words
Because there are things the heart understands that the brain doesn't
There are things the heart knows but the brain never will
That's why I had such a hard time describing how I feel 


I feel as if I'm not worthy of your love, but honestly nobody is

You’re the embodiment of everything that is beautiful in this world and I wish you could see that
Regret thrives within all of us and my regret is not knowing you sooner
Because I knew that on that day a forest grew

I was lucky enough to find a leaf as lost as I was.
We may have descended from divergent branches but we have fallen the same, overcome by our past mistakes we were left to wither in the wind.
Darling I understand what it feels like to be lost because most recently when I look into your eyes I can’t notice any other thing.


But that all changed when I saw you with him.
