I'll hold your hand always
Even once our wrinkles settle in
Your fingers interlocked with mine
A perfect fit. A perfect match. A perfect bond.
And I'll squeeze tightly. Hold firmly.
Pray I never lose my grip on unimaginable bliss

Thanks for letting me love you half a decade
Thanks for showing me the brighter things
And bringing pigment to my grass blades
I thank and pray in every language
To every god or being or divine entity
That led us to where our paths did meet
Along highways and roadways unpaved
Rocky, twisting, turning, topsy-turvy
Early mornings and endless nights of thoughts unnerving
Fearing I would never find you
You breathed new life into lungs collapsing
By fate or chance or happenstance
Your fingers fell into my hand out grasping
And I hope you never let go.
Whether six feet under or side by side in urns as ashes
I’ll forever be grateful that I had the privilege, however short or long it turns out to be,
To have shared this time in infinite space with you

I loved you for the longest time
Way before I knew who you were
Well before I knew what love was
My heart ached and yearned for a love like yours... A love like ours
I craved and begged and ached for it
Along the road I gave up
I accepted whatever scraps life offered
Beggars can't be choosers
And I chose to accept what I got
As the saying goes "we accept the love we think we deserve"
You've shown me I deserve more than I ever knew I was worth
Not to discredit it all
Every bump in the road, every depression, every manic episode put me right in your headlights
But I won't run, I won't jump, I won't budge unless it ends with you in my embrace
My sweetest dreams in human flesh
Bless you for falling for a fool like me

I hope you fall in love with me often
That I take your breath away every time you make my heart skip a beat
Maybe in time life with divulge it's sweetest secrets
Maybe then I'll know why you wound up in mine
I can't wrap my head around this concept
Try though I might, I'll never truly understand
Just what it is I have here
How you make my face hurt though my soul is the one smiling
How you leave me dumbfounded with just a subtle look
How despite the tides that shift you guide me shining brightly
You are undoubtedly the strings that lift me up and the anchor that holds me down
Keeping me at peace with just the sound of your voice
My biggest fan, my best friend, and everything else in between
It's truly a pleasure to be yours


Love Gabe

I cling to your every thread
Your strands entwined with mine
Every fiber feeling deeply for you
My sweetest, dearest, love come true

Highkey I think about you always
That's why my I'm shining like stars on a moonless summer night
Evoke emotions I never imagined I'd have
Heart swells, doubts quell, knowing time will tell my every sleepless thought to hush
My mind's at ease knowing I found my true match
Never looking in the rear view it's just us two in time my happy ever after might come true
Til then I'm holding on to your hand, your heart, your every everything
Can't wait to embrace all of you for always

If I ever lose you then I lost myself
And I'm all I've ever known
From mountain highs to desert valley lows
I've become more, felt more, and said more than I could ever imagine
I look forward to 20 years
Then another 20
Then 20 more.
Because my early 20's were infinitesimally quiet before you
Maybe you'll read this someday. CS
