a love poem dedicated to my younger self

I love you like the stars in the apples

 I eat when I cut them open, I see you, 

I love you in the images I see from my childhood,

 for your innocence and your curly hair,

 I love you and your passionate heart and soul and the way,

 the way you have dedicated years of your life to healing 

I love you for the way you dance and sing and moan out loud about  how beautiful life is

 the way the trees look and the way the oceans catch your eyes and make you smile 

the way you sit with your presence and capture everything

I  love you my inner child my younger self, I love you so much
