One, you make happy,
not *two much, just the right kind
but it's three hundred times more
than I've ever felt befour

Five days later, still hooked with each other
We'd spend six hours talking
for seven days a week, and each day
you never failed to ask if I eight* already

Nine weeks later, "hooked" became an understatement
for we'd spent ten hours talking,
eleven, if it's a weekend. It's a shame though,
we didn't even get past twelve weeks.

But love, did you know?
Yesterday, I survived fourteen days without you
I survived but I'm barely alive and now
I don't know if I can think of another fifteen weeks without you.

Loving you is exhausting
But exquisite and intricate and haunting
The kind of love that lingers like the smell of smoke
From the candles in my bedroom
The kind of love that touches the crevices in my body
That no one has reached out to touch before
And yet there you are
In my veins, in my heart, holding me
Loving you is all I can do darling
I knew from the moment we spoke
That I would want you forever
And that is my promise to you.
Loving you isn't easy
Because loving you makes me crazy and insecure and worried
But loving you is a new journey that I am taking
A sacrifice that I am making
Something I must get used to; loving you.

I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when my life seems to be dry
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I question why
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I lost the courage to try something new
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
when I need encouragement then I get it from you
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
to ease some anxiety
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
let my emotions swell
I take to take a dip in the poetry well
while holding paper and a pen
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
where inspiration never ends
I like to take a dip in the poetry well
where I can gather with my friends
