NaPoWriMo Day 1 – April 1st 2014 / Attempt 2.0
Fall in love with a writer,
You’ll live forever in their words –
a chapter of their own story,
not just a line scrawled with passing.
Fall in love with a photographer,
You’ll learn to see yourself
in beautiful ways you never knew
existed until they flashed the camera.
Fall in love with an artist,
You’ll be the muse
that brings out the best of them
even if it’s from the worst of you.
Fall in love with a watch maker,
You’ll never have to worry about being cherished-
because they spend their lives trapped by time.
They know just how precious every moment is.
Fall in love with an athlete,
You’ll understand how your words,
Make them play a little harder and faster than yesterday.
They’ve found a motivation never to lose.
Fall in love with a cinephile,
You’ll be the star of everything they see.
Little pieces of you, your eyes, your hair,
Your quirks and jokes are a small piece of every film.
Fall in love with yourself,
You’re the only one who knows
The secrets holding your heart back-
The only thing holding yourself back, is you.
So fall in love, with love.
Whether it’s a writer, or an engineer,
a cynic, or a critic- you’ll learn
to love yourself in more ways than one.
