(For Denali, my honey bee)

On a night like any other filled with chaos, anxiety and fear I heard your beautiful voice and those stormy skies began to clear

When you push and push working hard every minute you’ll find yourself burned out

To be close to you To feel you next to me Brings me the warmth and light of a star burning brightly

It’s easy to focus on all the negatives on the misery on everything that’s missing

In the worst of times you helped me to smile Even when I held pain inside I could forget it for a while

When someone stabs a knife full of ignorance and hate right into your heart it’s okay to want to stab back

No matter how bad things get yesterday, tomorrow or today I’ll still give you a big hug and tell you it’s gonna be okay

You’ve been places where you weren’t appreciated but you stayed anyway because you had nowhere else

I kiss my finger and boop your nose It's what I want to do, I suppose But am I starting to feel something more? I'm thinking of you all the time Call you my rainbow ray of sunshine Could it be that it's you I adore? Now I'm fussing over what to wear So excited to go and see you there Starting to realize something brand new I think I'm catching feelings for you

Cast aside again and again and again and every single time you felt like nothing
