Me + You

Nights with you are sacred
Whispered words
And stolen kisses
Cheek to cheek with you
Chasing your hands
Beneath your king sized sheets
Always longing to be closer to you
Waking up to you laughing
Dreaming happy things
That you’ve never dreamt before
And I feel light
Like I could drift away
Like I could float free
Of worry
And just know
The way my heart aches for you
And as your eyes begin to open
I crave the way you inch closer to me
The way you nudge me with your cheek
Finding my hands in these sheets
And cradling them in yours
You press your lips to my skin
And all over again
Little wings flutter
And hope
rises up in my throat
I whisper, “good morning”
My eyes are searching
Wading through seas
Of thoughts and words
That I cannot wait to say to you
Of things I cannot wait to do with you
Because you give life
To the butterflies in my stomach
I miss you when you aren’t with me
More whole heartedly
Than ever before
So many things with you
Are new
And unique
And after all this time I didn’t think
That I would feel this
That I would find you
And maybe that’s why I did
Because I let go of the possibility
That I could have everything
Until I met you
And everything has changed for me
I know that the way I feel is enduring
That it is tender and honest and pure
And I don’t pray but I prayed for you
You are my religion
The closest I’ll ever get to heaven
The path to love isn’t a straight line
With everything that we’ve been through
with every subtle sign
I know that this will last
My heart is steadfast
And the only name it knows is yours
And hearts and minds will wage their wars
And question what is right
But when you kiss me, hold me, speak to me
I know the truth 
Is that anything that begins with me
Will always end with you

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
