The way he thinks about you isn’t big enough
He doesn’t believe in all the kinds of things you do
Like real-life “ever afters”; happy endings
Like second chances or the magic that is you
The way he thinks about you isn’t big enough
He has your heart; you have his mind, his conscious thoughts
He has his “You’ll be fine without me, life-goes-on” -ness
You have the wounds from all the times you know you’ve fought
The way they think about you isn’t big enough
They keep you grounded in their finite, stringent world
They think in “this” or “that” or “white” or “black” scenarios
When you’re a “gravity is optional” kind of girl
The way they think about you isn’t big enough
They get excited for the answers on a page
They feel fulfilled by rigid tasks and status quo-ness
They think that’s all there is to do or left to say
But please know that, no matter what, you’re big enough
You are the light that changed his life for good or worse
And you’re the one who’ll change the world for lack of sameness
I know it’s hard, but it’s a blessing – not a curse
So when you go to bed tonight, you’re big enough
He won’t say it but I’ll shout it to the stars
And remember that for girls who resist gravity
…Not even the moon is all that far.
