with him the world
doesn’t spin so fast,
though he still manages
to make my head dizzy.
I’m constantly at war
with myself but he
brings so much peace
into the troubled waters
in my heart.
I would kiss the dimples
off his cheeks,
and let him take the light
from my eyes if it only
meant one more day
of happiness for him.
his words tickle beneath
my skin making me grin
for no reason at all.
his laughter is the breath
in my lungs.
he’s a mistake I hope to make,
a lesson learned in time.
just so I can have a moment or two
where his heart beats with mine.
