Unequivocally

I've wanted to say it for so long
It overwhelms me every time
I say those three words to you
I feel my spine
Straighten
The hair on my neck stands at attention
To be recognized
Because my heart floats up so high
When you look at me with those eyes
And you reply
With more love and intention
Than I could ever mention
When you tell me you love me too
And I am so grateful for you
So grateful to be so in love
With someone so worthy
So other-worldly
I'll never forget the first time
This I promise you
You say things sometimes
That I've been thinking all my life
And it makes me feel so close to you
So easy to promise you
That I'll never say it out of obligation
Or for any other reason
Than when I feel it so purely
So justifiable, so surely
And every time I look at you
I see an angel
Clothed in perfection, so gentle
So kind and so intentional
How high am I
That I can see heaven in your eyes
I'm covering this candle with my hands
Protecting the flame from passing winds
I'll never let it go out
The fire that burns between us
And I will never doubt
That you were made for me
It is written in the divinity
Of your smile, your hands, your voice
for me, there was never any other choice
Than to fall absolutely
unequivocally
head over feet
in love 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
