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
