“People always say be true to yourself. But that’s misleading, because there are two selves. There’s your short term self, and there’s your long term self. And if you’re only true to your short term self, your long term self slowly decays.”
“I fall in love
so easily. Maybe that’s why I built
the walls massive and secure and the trenches so deep,
maybe that is why I was hesitant
to let you in. Because; The first time I met the ocean,
he waved to me,
then pulled me in-
ankles first
and heart second. The first time I met the moon-
I mean the first time I really saw it glistening in the sky and kissing the stars-
I fell for him too. The first time I met the mountain-tops with their vast glorious peaks,
they captivated me like nothing else,
and I felt myself entertaining a new passion for their immense beauty. I thought all that was enough-
I didn’t think I needed more But then,
I met you. and the first time I met you
your deep ocean eyes wrapped me up like a high tide,
your glistening smile created this instant demand for your lips,
and when you did kiss me-
they brought me to heights mountains couldn’t touch. The first time I met you;
I saw myself
falling again
for the last time.”
