“I think that if you let me
I'd treat you like the sky.
I'd join up all your insecurities
bundle all your flaws
into a new constellation
and search for it endlessly.
I know you don't see yourself
the way I see you
and you will still argue
when I call you beautiful.
But all the things you can't stand
about yourself
are all the things I can't
go a day without.
I think if you let me
I'd build an observatory
just to show you
that all the stars in the universe
will never shine as bright
as you.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
