You will forever be the treasure
I dedicated my life to find
Where there was a x to mark the spot,
I found you; one of a kind.
With a heart purer than gold
and eyes that shine like a gem;
you value is exorbitant
And you’r richer than any of them.
Seasick
Loving you comes to me
the way waves do as they
connect with the side of a boat,
crashing over and over.
I anticipate the connection,
as I see nothing but waves
coming from miles all around me;
knowing the feelings
will rock my boat back and forth
as the little moments
of love crest on the next wave,
getting ready to rock my world
again and again
leaving me little time to prepare
for the next overwhelming bout
before the next one hits.
There are highs and lows
and no way off the ship.
I am stuck between waves
asking myself
“he loves me?
he loves me not”
time after time.
And as much as I love the highs
and salty breeze in my hair,
I am getting seasick
and am longing for a harbor.
Insomnia
I cannot stop thinking of you
for long enough to fall asleep
because when I start think of
you I realize I am in deep.
I mean I can trust that you will
make an appearance in my dream,
but. I would rather lay awake
thinking of the way your eyes gleam.
Waking Up
In a book I recently read
the main character said
“When you wake up next to
the person you love and
you quietly watch them sleep,
it should be difficult to
imagine a world in which
you don’t wake up next to them.”
This thought has been on my brain
a lot lately with my insomnia
because maybe the reason
that I can’t bare to fall asleep
is because I am tired of
waking up in a bed without
you lying right next to me.
A Few Days Off
Sometimes a few days
off from work in a row
will do wonders to heal you
and to also help you grow.
Already Figured Out
I’m just going to say
what your mom
and your dad
and your friends
and everyone else
has already figured out:
Make it official.
Everyone can see that
how you feel
is written all over
your face.
Stop living in denial
and
wife
me
up.
All I Could Think of Was You
Even at my sickest point,’
laying on the lifeless,
uncomfortable hospital bed
all I could think of was you.
Even with the iv
dripping the cold fluid
into my veins for hours,
all I could think. of was you.
Even with the medications
and the never ending tests
to try and fix my illness,
all I could think of was you.
Because I knew that
through all the pain
that if you had been here,
you would have made me laugh.
Sharing Breakfast
There is something so intimate
about sharing breakfast with
someone that you love.
The concept that you both
woke up and the first thing
that either of you wanted
was to see each other’s faces;
hear each other’s laughs;
make each other smile.
Those are such tender,
caring moments to share
with one another in
the moments where sleep
still sits in the corners
of your freshly opened eyes
and it is still early enough
that you can still share
and grasp at what remains
of each other’s dreams.
There is something so intimate
about sharing breakfast with
someone you love.
I’m glad I get to share it with you.
IKEA
Falling in love with you
is a lot like building
furniture from IKEA.
The directions are in Swedish
and I have no idea
what the hell I’m doing.
Twinkle in the Galaxy
There is nothing that
makes my heart go warm
on this planet or
in this galaxy
more than knowing that
twinkle in your eyes
only happens when
you’re looking at me.
