One Night.

Sometimes in the midst

Of jumbled thoughts and mixed feelings,

That's all it takes for clarity.

One night.

One person.

You look up and suddenly see stars again,

Your cheeks are sore from that grin that is plastered on your face

And gives no sign of being erased.

You know where you want to take your life, yourself.

Who you want to be.

You learn from past mistakes and for your sake,

Stop from repeating them so you can be the person

You want to be.

And there you emerge,

Thoughts sorted with one that hangs in suspension.

One thought.

One person.

I don't know what is to come,

I have hope.

For these feelings,

Being unlike anything before

I know I've won.

And this smile feels right at home,

And this heart knows where it rests.

And now, peace.

Take it easy kids :)
