once in a blue moon
"and so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past" - the great gatsby
once in a blue moon,
you meet someone so perfect,
so wonderful,
that after all these years of thinking you're something,
you realize that with him,
you're nothing.
once in a blue moon,
you are blessed with someone so open,
and honest,
someone so understanding and caring,
that his words or actions are nothing you can comprehend,
because you're the opposite,
a liar, a coward,
too naive to understand that sometimes,
things just aren't the way they often seem
once in a blue moon,
you meet someone so amazing,
someone with the invincible ability to change what is unchangeable,
to make you better, in a million more ways than one,
to painfully break you,
and to the world,
make you more beautiful.
once in a blue moon,
you meet someone so wonderful,
too wonderful,
that you become an absurd match,
and he leaves you,
sinking in your own pool of tears,
and trying ever so hard to become better,
whatever that means,
because once in a blue moon,
he may come back,
and you can finally show him,
that you're just,
as wonderful.
i love you most ardently, 5:33 PM.
