“even if i am
stripped
of everything
i will not
be nothing”
― Ellen Everett, I Saw You As A Flower: A Poetry Collection

“If you're looking for forever,
I'll take the batteries out of my clocks.
So that we'll be stuck inside this moment,
as if time had really stopped.

I would tell you I love you every second,
except here, seconds do not exist.
So I'll say I love you with each breath,
with each smile, with each kiss.

And when I die, you can crank your watch,
restart your clocks, begin the time.
And know that we were infinite
in the moment that you were mine.”
― Ellen Everett, I Saw You As A Flower: A Poetry Collection

“if you cannot tell already, i love flowers. for me, they have always been a message of positivity. what appears to be such a fragile little thing has the strength to withstand so much. through wind, rain, and storms, they are still able to grow and thrive as something beautiful. and so can we, even when the odds are against us. remember this as you go through your days.”

“and again
i go to bed early
because it hurts too much
to stay awake
and think about
how you aren't here
the only place
i can be with you
is in my dreams”
― Ellen Everett, I Saw You As A Flower: A Poetry Collection
