You, my Darling, are Independent

I want you to wrap your knuckles around your big heart and as they turn white I want the blood to forget how to flow... but you are young and stuborn, and God that is what I adore about you.

So instead, I will tell you to love. Love fiercely and unapologetically. Spread your heart open so wide that oceans meet inside of you and let his deep brown eyes soak in the crashing waves, rocking you to sleep that whole summer.

Then, on that cold October day when love has let you down… I want you to remember that you are enough. You have always been enough.You are fierce. You are strong. You, my darling, are independent.
