Not everyone needs

bright skies 

or grass that is green

to feel like they are walking on the clouds.

 

I am not everyone;

I like overcast days 

and wearing grey

The simplest things are what keep me going.

 

I never dreamed 

that I would find someone

who looks at all the destruction behind me

and still will hold my hand

like they couldn't let go if they tried.

 

I never fathomed 

that I could feel so happy

that I would burst at the seams of my being.

But when you look at me like that,

I know that love 

is the most powerful emotion to exist

and the hardest choice to make.

But for you, the choice was a no brainer. 

Literally, it was all heart.

 

I used to think that once I had the money

Nothing else would matter, and I would feel happy.

The truth is, all I needed was 

someone to point me towards the light.

 

all I needed was you

to feel as if 

I walk upon the clouds.

In pouring rain, with you, sunshine would burst from me.
