tonight, i became a martian.
and i’ve come to decide that you are the stars.
not a single, marvelous star, but the whole starry host.
you reached down through the universe and plucked me from my sad, sorry existence, and showed me the light and life beyond all this. beyond the muck and dirt and earth. out into the sky. up. out. around. surrounding.
sometimes it takes the eyes of a martian child — new eyes, watching the world from a different perspective, taking everything in for the first time — to realize what you’ve got and who you are trying to be.
i want you.
i want to know that you want me.
i do know.
but show me.
since i know that you’re reading this, darling, why don’t you start up your own blog and let your feelings out. one that no one knows about but me, so that we can share instead of hiding so many parts of ourselves from each other. i know that you love me. i know that you want me. so show me that. show me what you’ve learned. this is a challenge.
