Copyright Information – “i once loved someone who kept saying… “be smaller. now smaller, still.“

i once loved someone who kept saying… “be smaller. now smaller, still.

but as small as i made myself, it was never, ever small enough. because my light was never the problem… their own darkness was.

so the next time i love, i want to love someone who says… “brighter. now brighter, still… you could never, ever shine too much.”
