Good As You.

The bright rays of light breach through the boundaries of the horizon. They drench the lonely landscape in absolute warmth, while the darkness shrivels away and exposes a colourful view, which begin to fill with life and colour. Inhabitants of the land scurry about, surfacing from their hiding places to bathe themselves in the heat. Flowers turn towards the sun, allowing heat to surge through their stems, which brighten with such vivid greens, and open up a vast rainbow of petals. Fields of soft, dewed grass sway in sync with the thawing branches which lazily hang from steady trunks. The sky envelops the world in a serene blue, and clouds patch the sky ever so delicately, shapes of bubbles and popcorn scatter throughout. Birds sing morning songs, and squirrels chatter incandescently in excitement of the new day. The scene is beautiful, yet it is nothing compared to her.

This girl is beyond beautiful. Her every move is accented with such independence and still such grace. Her smile invokes such a contagious fire that instils every sad heart with joy. Her words speak peace and calm into stressed minds. She is perfect, her words are wise, and her actions bring justice and love to all who encounter her. She is perfect in every single way.

But what is wrong with her? She is everything, gives everything, and yet she expects nothing, and in turn receives nothing. Does she have no dignity? She lowers herself, and gives herself away. She is out of his league, yet she pursues him. She can have whatever she wants, and whoever she wants, yet she chooses the lowest of the low. All who look at her are stunned by her choices, and they wonder the very same thing: "Why doesn't she take what she deserves?" She risks her life for someone who isn't willing to risk theirs for her, but she doesn't care.

Maybe... the one person she really does want is way too good for her. She is humbled by every action that person executes, his flawlessness takes her breath away. She sees perfection in someone who is way out of her league. She cannot lay a finger down a single mistake in this person's life. His words are always filled with wisdom and care. He brings her joy, but she rejects his very being. Despite her fascinations with him, she completely avoids him, distancing herself from all the good that he is. She thinks that she doesn't deserve him, because he is too good for her.

Little does she know, he thinks the very same thing. He loves her, and he wants to care for her. He sees no flaw in her beauty, her actions, her motives. He sees perfection in every aspect of her life, and he is humbled to even be in her presence. He knows in his heart that he doesn't deserve her, and he watches her walk on in life. He doesn't do anything about it, because he believes that she deserves better than him, despite her poor choices.

She thinks that she only deserves people that are nowhere near as good as him, and he thinks that he is too flawed to be near her. Perhaps neither will find that the people you don't deserve are the ones who you need to love you the most.

I wish I was anywhere near as good as you; I wish I deserved any bit of you. You're beyond perfection. I don't want what I deserve, but I don't believe that I could ever have you.

The sun sets over the horizon, and darkness creeps over again. The land is deadbeat and barren. The flowers close and prepare for the cold night ahead, and the animals and insects retreat to the comfort of their small homes. Clouds menacingly swallow up the stars of the night, and a cool wind sends a shiver down the spines of all who are caught in darkness. As night closes in, the landscape is silent. Crickets stop calling, and at once, the world is asleep.

LOL, Sarah.

PS. Whoever said my blogs would ever make sense?
