Her Pt. 2


 You said you had to find yourself 
 Which was confusing to me 
 Cause I see you so clearly 
 Your crystalline eyes like marmalade in the sunlight
 Your hair like chestnuts
 Cascading down your spine under your snapback  
 Brushing it out of your face would be my caprice 
 Your jacket holding the scent of light cinnamon and safety
 I find you so easily
 In the meowing of a cat
 Or a rattling of a tackle box
 The sound of children laughing
 The whinny of a horse
 I find you in the smell of freshly baked cookies
 And in the taste of rich mac n cheese
 I see you in the sunflowers that grow in the spring
 And in the beauty of a mare
 In the rays of the sun shining down
 Much like you shine upon me
 I hope you find yourself too
 But if not ill help you find yourself
 In the taste of warm camomile tea on your tongue
 Or the feeling of the first snowflakes kissing your cheeks
 The safety in a favorite blanket
 And in the smell of home
