that little smile playing on my lips the bus ride back to my house. a sense of tranquility. being with you makes me feel at home. i've always looked for shelter in four walls, front doors, bedsheets, dining room tables, and every other little thing. but i didn't ever feel that connection. until i met you. and i realized a home doesn't have to be made of four walls. it can be made of a heartbeat.
i realized that i don't call someone "my love" until i know for sure deep in my heart that i love them and will love them for the rest of my life. and you, my love, you i will love for the rest of my life, and even after. in all my lifetimes, i will find you and love you.
"her hand in his, he became her tomorrows."


- atticus

i wish i could say i fell asleep to the sound of your heartbeat
and i wish i could say that your warmth calmed my storm
i wish i could say the scent from my candle would forever remind me of this moment
and i wish i could say i knew you like the back of my hand
i wish i could say i felt your lips against my forehead as i drifted to sleep
and i wish i could say the paint from my hands has moved onto yours
i wish i could say that my heartbeat memorized yours and they made a song together
and i wish i could say you were so close i could feel your breath kiss my hair
i wish i could say i heard you say 'i love you'
and i wish i could say i told you i loved you too
i wish i could say that our legs were entangled together like my thoughts about you
and i wish i could say that everything i have said was true
but, no, it's not because it only happened in my head
and not in reality like we both want it to
you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. and that's what i did. i walked through hell and ended up in your arms, my heaven on earth.
a soulmate isn’t someone who completes you. a soulmate is someone who inspires you to complete yourself. and that's what you did. you inspired me to complete myself. and now i am whole.
and love is when someone who knows your scars, stays to kiss them. no one has ever kissed my scars, but i know you will everyday. because that's the way you love me. and that means so much to me.
