my love for him eclipses his for me
****, that hurts

there is no lonelier feeling
than lying next to someone
who is supposed to be your lover
and knowing they're not there

he is
warmth

it envelops me,
comforts me,
until I melt.

he is
generosity

giving, persistently,
insisting that I allow myself
to receive.

he is
steadiness

without fail, he is there
there is no better gift
than trust that is deserved.

he is
miraculous

this love transcends time
when I look into your eyes
I see our future

the typical flitting about of my mind
comes to a rest when I am with you

it's magic

may every night end
with you as the last thing i see

and may every morning begin
with yours arms reaching for me

my head was in the crook of his shoulder
as we discussed the following day's plans

i said, "believe me, i'm a planner"
he said, "i know, i've seen your lists"

i said, with a scoff, "you should see my brain"
and he said, "it would be beautiful"

and that was when I fell,
with a thud

there's no going back now
