Dear Love


Dear love,

 

You are the sweetest downfall in the world

The best memories

Where the moonlight dances all around you

Where you’re a flame on fire

And when you’re the brightest,

That’s when the flame can extinguish in a heartbeat

It dies with no explanation

And sometimes all it takes is a midnight swim in the ocean to heal the burns

Then you float and look at the stars

Praying one of them will fall from her place and fill up the hole where your heart used to be

 
Sincerely, 
Giselle
