Do you truly know what it's like to dream with your eyes open? To confess that you don't know why you dream the way you do. The need to miss as much as you do. Missing the reality of the things that make most happy. Catching yourself in the beauty that goes unseen. Everything that goes unseen. The light that twinkles in the melanin. Quiet spheres that guard us from what we fear most. Legit watching you the way you watch them. Bowing in your essence while you share in their regal. The way your shoulders slide into a dress made in their likeness. The rest of the world goes on
