/ɪˈfɛm(ə)r(ə)l,ɪˈfiːm(ə)r(ə)l/
adjective

• I know that I am mortal by nature.
My presence will eventually be erased,
and I will be forgotten.
But for each and every dreamlike moment I spend with you,
for a brief moment, the universe holds its breath.
Time stops. If you blink you’ll miss it,
but if you don’t… you’ll see an
immortal and pure love that transcends time and space.
Everything will fade to black
and there will just be us and only us if not for a fleeting moment.

• Like watching a timelapse of the night sky,
like watching the glowing star trails,
time flies when I’m with you.
We spend hours on end together
only for it to seem like a handful of minutes.
Time marches on. He is his own master. He waits for no one.
Through Time’s eyes, us humans
have only been around for less than a fraction of a second.
Despite that a mere second with you is an eternity.
Even if it’s a passing moment, it’s a moment spent with you.

• Things are temporary.
There are only so many hours of sunlight,
only so many hours during the quiet night.
There are only so many fairy-lights lighting the night sky.
And our time together will also one day come to an end,
as all good things do.
Despite this, the years spent with you,
the months, weeks, hours, minutes- each and every single second
spent with you will be treasured and cherished.
You are loved. Now, today, and until the day that I die.

You are gorgeous, simply beautiful
the fact, indisputable, irrefutable
you are worth it all, and you're enough
thank you for being the you I know
and have come to love.
I love you without hesitation.
Words of Affirmation

If I were there with you now,
I'd be giving you a comforting cuddle
I'd run my hand through your hair and hold you close
a kiss to the forehead, pure, not sensual
I'd hold your hands, warm them with mine
and be with you all the time, because to you it means so much
Physical Touch

I'd get you your favorite ice cream
with extra toppings, just how you like it
I'd write you letters and poems, I'll send them in the mail

and make you the shelf on which they'd be living
Gift Giving

We could go out to the city, just the two of us
Take a walk through the park, sit and talk for hours
I'll be there for you, and only you
you'd have my 100% undivided attention
I could go to yours, or you could come to mine
and that's all we'd ever need, each other's

Acts of Service

i. I was told that there are 7 words to make a woman love you but what about the seven words: “A soulmate that wasn’t meant to be”?

ii. Falling in love and maintaining a relationship are two different things. Love can be unconditional, the relationship is not.

iii. Attraction happens by seeing, Love happens by observing. There’s a fine, fine line between feelings and understanding.

iv. When you fall in love, it’s what everyone tells you it is. The world brightens up. You feel all warm and fuzzy. Time freezes, and… it hurts. A lot. It’s confusing. It’s messy. But it’s also one of the best things that can ever happen to you.

Hello future friend how are you?
I'm sorry our plans to meet up fell through
but I hope you've been taking care of yourself.

How is your family, how are your friends?
I know... asking these questions won't make amends
for my absence in your life recently.

And so I want to dedicate this poem to you
you who makes me reminisce
you whose company brought me bliss
you whose laugh, whose smile I dearly miss
you, my dear friend, who I shamefully dismissed.

I want you to know that you're stronger than you think
and even if you're down, depressed, and your heart would sink
you've made it this far in life and I am so proud of you.
Proud of your small daily victories- yes I noticed how you pull through
all the dark times, all the blurry lines, all the tough and rough
you are beautiful. You are loved. You are enough.

I know it may not seem like I care since it's been a while...
but for what it's worth, I hope I could make you smile

i.  Seven words and she’ll fall in love. I’ve been told that’s all it takes.

ii. I didn’t know it would be you. But that’s the funny thing about love. You see, when we first met, my heart didn’t race the way it does now. My stomach wasn’t filled with butterflies. My face wasn’t flushed. But, to me, you were always gorgeous. I just didn’t see you that way.

iii. At first you were an alien beauty. A lone planet waiting to be discovered. And to a lonely astronaut the allure of a foreign body was enough to draw me into your orbit. But that was a mere shallow, superficial, and scientific, interest. It wasn’t until I explored the depths of your oceans and caves, the vastness of your fields and planes before I realised that I was missing something. The three words to make seven ten.
I’m in love.

iv. If I’m honest, it felt like love. Hidden, valuable, much sought and seldom found. Love. If the sun’s the center of our solar system, then you’re the center of mine. Everything always seemed to revolve around you. All the songs were about you… about us. All my thoughts were about you… about us. All I could ever talk about was you… was us. You were the last thought on my mind before I went to sleep, the first when I awoke. You were there in my dreams keeping me company as we danced amongst the stars. I was, I am, and I forever will be loving you. If I could tell you, I would. I love you.

v. She doesn’t know it when I say: “I am at your service, my lady”. Those were seven words, did it work? Does she love me too? Again I try: “Do you want to go out tonight?” - “I’d love to.” Wait… did she just complete my seven? Again I try: “So what exactly are we doing tonight?” - “I don’t know.” She did it again, did you see? She completed me. We spent 7 nights a week together. We walked the city streets by starlight. But no star could ever outshine you. The seven wonders of the world paled against you. You were the bounce in my step. My soul, my rhythm, my muse. The soft tone and shape of your voice could calm storms. One loving glance tamed the wildest beasts. Your soothing touch warmed the hardest hearts. A single kiss would be like heaven. Do you know?

vi. I love you, I think you know. But you’ve said nothing, I don’t know. I know your secrets, I know your voice. I know your sorrows, I know your joys. Your favourite things, humor, music, your footstep I take in stride. I know you. But I don’t know if you love me. I spend all my waking hours with you, and in my sleep I dream dreams of you. Of all the cosmic entropy, I had the pleasure and luck of finding you. Of all my scientific endeavours, discovering our chemistry is my most treasured. Of all the mysteries in the world, your heart I wish to solve. If I’m honest, it feels like love.

vii. You rest your head on my shoulder. And cuddle close. “Please tell me, I need to know.” - “I love you.”

They warned me to watch for my hands because
I might cut them picking up the broken pieces of others.
They warned me to watch for my eyes because
after seeing their problems my sight would lose all it’s colours.

I believed good people were like candles
as they’d burn themselves out to give others light
I believed good people were like the dark of the night
as they'd be there to help the stars shine bright

My hands may be criss crossed with cuts and scars,
my eyesight dim, and in need of glasses
my body may be patched and riddled with burn marks
and I may have fallen into the depths of darkness

So often I believed that no one was there to help the helper

It was hard, and the map of 3rd degree burns and nicks
are a testament to my journey, my daily crucifix
But I think I’ve found the balance, the fine fine line
between madness and sanity. Between helping others and myself

I’ve learnt to shine brightly for others
like the moon, both light and dark
whilst not setting myself on fire
and still allowing others to shine stark

My eyes still see the wonder in the world,
my hands still craft joy, still tinker with happiness.
To you my friend, if you're anything like me,
know it's all worth it, and you will be helped, you will be found.
