If I was brave enough to be your Romeo, would you be my Juliet?
\nWould you find me important enough to be in your poems?
\nWould you bring me up in random conversation with people I’ve never met?
\nWould you believe me when I tell you:
\n\u201cYou are your own worst critic.\u201d
\nEverything you do is sunsets on countrysides,
\nDrops of rain dancing across a baby’s forehead for the first time,
\nYou are nothing less than a treasure.
\nI know that people have loved you for all the wrong reasons,
\nIf I was brave enough to show you the right ones, would you let me?
\nI’ve been thinking of how to tell you how I feel,
\nOr if you would even believe me,
\nYou\u2019ve met the worst parts of me before the best parts got a chance to shine,
\nIf I was brave enough to take the time, would you let me get to know you?
\nNot just the picture perfect smile or face you put on for others,
\nWould you let me know the reason you wear the mask?
\nThis isn’t a crush, or teenage lust, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable calling it love because,
\nI don’t just want to kiss and hug you, or know all your secrets,
\nYou make me want to be the man I don’t ever think I can be.
\nYour words fuel my inspiration,
\nMy skin dances to the sound of your voice,
\nWhen you speak, I don’t get butterflies,
\nI get riots of unspoken words demanding refuge,
\nRaging balls of fire in the\u00a0midnight\u00a0of my stomach,
\nI wish the flames could dance off my tongue as easily as they do yours,
\nYou are the night before my revolution.
\nI ask you,
\nIf I was brave enough to be your Romeo would you be my Juliet?
\nOr could we trash all the metaphors,
\nGet rid of the overused clich\u00e9s and not-so-well-done similes, and simply
\nHelp each other be the best versions of ourselves?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
