You kept me
together
with gauze—
pressed into wounds
that you never meant to heal.

Each breath
a slow infection—
a fever you wore
just to sweat it out—
cut another slice
of time.

I stayed—
stitched beneath your silence
warming the decay—
not knowing
I was the wound
all along.

We often say
nothing but stay.

A spark
on chill days
when the power
ran out
the quiet
beside the ache—

No fixing
no fleeing
just being
a warmth
that lasts.

I am in the middle of being old enough and too young
I cannot do the things that older people can do yet
I can't drink, I can't drive, I can't buy a house
But I am too old to do the things children do
I don't need to sit in the back seat of the car anymore
I don't need to follow my parents in the store anymore
I am in the middle of being old enough and too young

Loving you is so beautiful
And true and making you
Smile is all I wanna do
Because I truly you love and
Loving you is more than just
A dream come true it's means
Everything to me because I love you
And no one else makes me happy
And no one else makes me feel
True love as much as you and sweetheart
Take my hands and grow old with me
And your voice is a soft breeze on a
Warm summer's day and
Carries my worries and takes them away
With words that comfort like warm sunlight
My heart beats for you day and night and
Loving you has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my life is filled with love
Because of you and your
Nurturing my soul with kindness and with grace and
Giving me a haven a warm and loving space and loving you a perfect art and your
Forever held deep in my heart and
I love you more than words can say
And you warm my heart and soul
Every single day.
