They say you have found
L O V E
When you find someone to
C O M P L E T E
you

When that someone
F I L L S
in the
C R A C K S
left by those before them

This person is your
O T H E R
half, as if you aren't
W H O L E

But what happens when two whole people fall in love?

I have this
Feeling
It isn't
Bad
It isn't
Good
It just is
This place doesn't feel like home
This is not my space
My space has become
Within you
I have taken up
Residency
In your heart
And I don't plan on leaving

There are things you don't think to do for yourself
Like pick up your towels
Or close the bottle of pain killers
Like take time away
Or reset after a lot of stress
But I want to be the one to do those things for you
But I almost feel like I don't know how.

I have been told
I have a devious
Smirk

That it gives away
My ill intentions

My smirk is nothing more
Than the
Thoughts
I have

When you have no idea what I'm thinking

Tonight you spoke of our future.
How it would be you with dice and me reading.
Two fat Tabby cats and some chickens.
And my heart was so full....
You joked about us being old spinsters
But honestly,
I couldn't think of anything I have ever wanted more.
I almost burst

Sitting eyes closed, and you put makeup on the marks you left on my skin. Slightly funny how we have to cover up our affections.

Tonight you left for work
And said
"I love you dear"
And in that moment,
I knew,
This was all I ever wanted
