Slurring sweet confessions under a sea of sleepless stars, surrounded by the sound of each other's deepest thoughts

Watching the way your beautiful mind unravels the world's mysteries, one enigma at a time

Scraping your brain for every ounce of inspiration, drinking in your world view, trading your two cents for my dime

The way your heart rate picks up when you talk about the sad stuff, or how your smile looks, beaming at least 100 watts

The way you glow in the moonlight, bathed in rays of somber hope, the way you comfort me, the ways you helped me cope.

For all these things and more, I owe you everything. For giving me a peek at perfection, I don't know how to thank you.  

So thank you.

My heart had never held a warmth as well as yours. With gentle hand and longing eye you led me to whiter shores, to better times, forever yours.

My mouth had never muttered a name as mirthful as yours. It swung with the harmony of a seraphim's spell between its sacred syllables, consonants crashed like waves against my humble tongue, drowning in your honeyed hums, forever young.

My fingertips had never faced a face so full of grace before. And as I mouth the words "I'm sorry" they fall flat, forever unsure.

My ears had never envied for a voice so vibrant. No holy hymn nor sacred sum could match the way you spoke to me like alchemy, turning my venom into violets, my rage into roses, all it shows is how much I miss the way you breathe "I love you", forever softly sung.
