restless soul
the moon's light dances through my window, I watch it as I lay in bed
there are so many beautiful things going on inside my head
I close my eyes and exhale, sinking deeper into my sheets
my heart feels lovingly optimistic about all of the new souls I will soon meet
for my soul has been thrashing within me, making me feel alive
it's ready to emerge now, to jump out and thrive
it was held captive in the dark for the longest time
and it's so excited to come out and shine
it quivers at the idea of tangling intimately with another again soon
I open my eyes now and gaze up longingly at the moon
a smile forms on my lips, as I realize that loving myself makes me whole
that it is the absolute key to releasing my restless soul.
