You are
         my
        sun,
    my moon
         and
        all of
     my stars.

       You are
           my
          heart,
         my life,
            my
       one and
           only
        thought.

         You are
            the
          poem
     I never knew
          how to
   write and this
       life is the
     story I have
          always
      wanted to
             tell.

She doesn't say
"I love you"
      like a
     normal
     person.
     Instead,
  she'll laugh,
shake her head,
      give you
    a little smile,
       and say,
"you're an idiot"
       if she tells
            you
   you're an idiot,
          you're
               a
       lucky man.
\
            Take a
             lover
              who
             looks
             at you
                like
             maybe
             you are
              magic.

I have thought
my entire life I needed
oceans or mountains
  or bright city lights
         to be happy.
           Truth is:
  I do not care where
              I am
          as long as I
          have you.

                   I
           want to be
                 that
           person you
    can't stop thinking
                about
         when you're
        surrounded by
           people who
             aren't me.

"I love you,"
that means I'm not just
   here for the pretty
             parts.

           I'm here
      no matter what
                and
         good things
       happen, when
         love is real.
            we will
            be okay.
         Let's root for
        each other and
          watch each-
          other grow.
       When you can't
       find the sunshine,
        be the sunshine.

We   kiss,
  We   hug,
  We   text,
  We   talk,
  We   forgive,
  We   laugh,
  We   smile,
  We   touch,
  We   touch again,
  We touch more,
  We kiss again,
  We kiss some more,
  We   love,
   That's us

goodbyes are easier when they are unspoken
but those are the ones that suffocate you the most
