It’s time I fully appreciate you.

 

As you fill the gaps daily I notice you but am afraid of your implications. You stubbornly come back for the better.

 

Humans lack a lack of things, more and more; you give us what we need. We’re surrounded by clouds but you clear the air around us and give us sight, create space.

 

I lay in bed some nights thinking about wanting to flip a little switch and feel myself click into place, overthinking my tongue tying itself, and you make your way into me and surround me with nothing

 

I try and almost fail to hold myself together every once in a while, and you make a barrier and let me reform myself. I make it through because of you.

 

So thank you. I don’t think I ever formulated the thought. I don’t know if I ever learned to think about you. I was never taught how silence could teach me comfort me bring me back to who I am complete whole so much more

 

You can stay, I really do want you here. I think it's time you knew.
