William Figg
He smiles.
His future is thought out.
His favorite color is yellow.
He can speak Spanish.

I frown.
My future is a mystery.
My favorite color is black.
I speak only English.

He's talented. I'm worthless.
He's a charmer. I'm a repellent.
He's hardworking. I'm spoiled.
He cherishes. I push away.

Can our opposites really attract?
Maybe in one way.
Fore he is the light that brightens my darkness.
But I shall not be the darkness that destroys
his light.

When I can't sleep at night,

I think about the way my name sounds in your mouth
and the way yours tastes in mine.
The individuality of every one of your stranded, untamed curls,
and how your dark eyes never cease to shine.

I think about us,
and where we may go.
I think about the future,
and the potential it might show.

When I can't sleep at night,
you are all that fills my mind.  
I enjoy my thoughts of you,
and how far we've come to be intertwined.

We have become One;
an invincible, incredible, infinite vessel.
We've grown together so beautifully now,
and we only started as a spark; a pebble.

When I can't sleep at night,
and when I am striving through the day,
my thoughts are swarming with just you,
and I wouldn't have asked for it any other way.

We can't turn our emotions off.
If only it was that easy,
I'd be the most heartless person around.
If only I could turn these emotions off.
