What I Love About You

Posted on by Baffy Basics

What I love about you is

your strong but gentle hands

your welcoming heart

your  ceaseless faith

your contagious smile

your infectious laugh

your kind words

your thoughtful actions

your love of life

your adventurous side

your passion and your drive

your optimistic outlook

and your compassion for everyone

just to name a few.

Winter Advisory

Posted on by Baffy Basics

I am a car,

just trying to get

from point a

to point b

on slick, snow

covered roads.

I’m just trying

to get a grip

and keep control

of my life

but I am

slipping and

sliding downhill

faster and faster.

I know that

pretty soon here

I am going to crash

and it is not

going to be pretty.

It’s going to

cost me far more

than a stupid mailbox.

I am putting

everything I’ve got

into getting to

my destination,

but my gut tells me

that I’ll never make

it there alive

I always believed in you.

I know you can achieve

anything you set your

mind to doing because

your ambitions don’t take

long to turn into a list

of accomplishments.

Your success is simply

inevitable, eventual, obvious.

You have dedication and drive

that will push you through

any challenge life throws

in your direction.

I’m proud of you

and all that you do.

Sincerely,

your #1 fan

Every Mile Between Us

Posted on by Baffy Basics

After a twelve hour drive

I could truly feel

every mile between us.

Leaving was already hard,

but feeling myself get

further and further from you

hurt more than I ever

thought it would; thought it could.

700 miles doesn’t feel that far

until you actually travel it

and have to race away

putting every mile between us.

Before my trip,

the distance was but nothing

but now 700 miles feels

impossibly far away.

And far as it feels,

at least distance is measurable.

The real pain comes from

how far into time it will be

until I see you again.

Because that is something

that I just don’t know.

 

When I Look At You

Posted on by Baffy Basics

When I look at you…

I see the future laid out in front of me.

I see a smile that warms my whole body up

coming home from work on a cold winter day.

I see heads thrown back in laughter

as we make dinner in our tiny kitchen together.

I see adventure after adventure

as we explore the cast world around us.

I see someone who is thoughtful, caring,

and willing to listen to the shenanigans of my life.

I see the father of my future children

who will be gentle, loving, and patient.

I see the dad who will be fun and energetic

and give them endless childhood memories.

I see a hard worker who never gives up

and is willing to face all of life’s challenges.

I see us celebrating life’s biggest moments

together hand in hand.

I see you teasing me with grey hair as we

rock on our front porch for endless hours.

I see someone who is ready to live life

to the fullest until the very end.

I see everything you will be

and hope that it will be with me.

When I look at you…. I don’t see just you.

I see my best friend.

See Your Eyes

Posted on by Baffy Basics

I long more than anything to see your eyes

than I long for the end of grey winter skies.

At night I toss and turn; I agonize

of the thought of when the opportunity will arise

for us to be reunited under the same Ohio skies

will come again.

 

I can’t wait for the moment to come! A reprise!

My excitement I cannot desguise.

I look forward to gazing at you and to no surprise

feel my whole life that I’m enduring paralyze

except for the hundreds of  butterflies

you stir up within me.

 

Looking into your captivating eyes

reminds me of the beauty of a sunrise

and the feelings that I now realize

the sharing of with you would be unwise

unless I’m seeking out my final demise;

but my how you just undo me.
