Mountains
When I think of mountains
I think of how they've changed
How their beauty became more present
The older I grew
But then they exploded with color
The misty days, the foggy nights
Everything that I never looked at
Everything that I didn't realize was there
Became the only thing I could see
Because they remind me of you
Somehow, these mountains
The same ones I used to dread
Because of hikes and hills and bugs and bees
A lack of people I know and places to see
Started to mean something to me
And I started to see this infinite beauty
Most of it is because of you, though
They wouldn't be the same without you
The sunrises (because the sunsets are bad) are much better shared
The fog is much more mysterious with another imagination
Looking out the window just means something different
With someone to enjoy it with
The older I grew
The more present the beauty became
And I think of how they've changed me
I think of the mountains a lot
And I think of you a lot
