be still my heart
for all the times
I stared into the night sky
searching for answers
when I never needed them.

be still my heart
for all of the times
I stared too long trying to understand
when it didn’t matter.

be still my heart
for all of the times
my mind overthought moments
and conversations that were innocent.

be still my heart
for all the times
I spent searching
for home in a person
instead I found it within myself.
