how i wish my words were beautiful

they could flutter on paper like fireflies
fly towards your heart and fill it with belonging
you'd think they were meant for you
and little did you know they were

how i wish i was pretty

you could stare at me for a little longer
wish you could photograph my face and stick it onto your bedroom wall
i could remain close
you'd share your secrets

and how i wish you loved me
without you the night feels so lonely
