Staring into the sun

Like the child that touches the hot stove to see if it’s hot,

Or the kid that stares into the sun when they are told they could go blind,

I stared straight into your eyes and reached for your heart.

I should have known how untouchable you are. I should have known you were too bright to see.

I should have listened when they said I’d get burned.

Why hello there lovelies 🙂

I happened to be walking with harriel across campus today–it was cloudy but still bright, the way cloudy days are sometimes. We were holding hands and laughing and joking. I’m not sure what about, but I know he makes me so, so happy, Lovelies. Anything I could say about him would be so cliche, yet absolutely true. Anywho, I heard a bird near us and watched it fly from the lake into the sky. But as it took flight, it flew straight into the path of the sun. For an instant, it’s shadow blocked the bright rays but the next second I was blinded. I was stunned of course and Harriel asked me if I was okay. I tried to look at him but I was blinded. In that moment, I realized just how metaphorical it all was. Because I’ve been blinded by love before, I’ve been burned.

So here’s a random poem- the result of that sudden inspiration. Thanks for reading lovelies, I’ll see your sexy faces next time 🙂
