& every time I see that smile,
Or hear your voice-
Whether it be full of concern,
Or radiating with joy-
The ice that surrounds my heart.
Slowly begins to melt away.
& every time you tell me a story,
Or share with me how your day went-
The butterflies that once died in my stomach,
Begin fluttering back to life.
Slowly- one by one, they spread their wings and fly.
& every time you smile at me,
Like I am the best thing in the world-
Or how you insist that I am beautiful,
Even when I know I am not-
I slowly begin feeling again-
Happiness.
Excitement.
Love.
You bring out the best side of me,
Even when I would rather not show it.
I would prefer you think I am a monster-
It would make things easier.
But here we are,
Miles apart from each other's arms-
& I can't help myself,
Every single day I fall for you a little bit more.
Just promise me one thing-
Don't allow me to walk to the edge-
& free fall into nothing.
Catch me with your warm ebrace.
Because I don't want you to end up being,
Just another love song.
That I cry my eyes out to every night.
I want you to be the anchor that holds me firmly to the ground.
I want you to be exactly who you are.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
Your smile actually meets your eyes,
& your laugh is genuine.
Please don't end up being love song.

Maybe it was the way fate intertwined our lives together on that warm summer day, or maybe it was the way he looked at me as if I was the most beautiful flower he'd seen amongst all the others in the garden. Whatever it was that caused my heart to fall for his, I am blessed.
The beauty of one's love for another is equivalent to every breathtaking sunset I have laid my eyes on and every single star that I have made a wish upon.
I found beauty within our hushed whispers and deafening silences, along with the moments of laughter and smiles reaching from ear to ear.
He was the most beautiful shades of color I had ever seen. Not a single rainbow could compare to the warmth and radiance he emitted.
Maybe it was the way he kissed my nose when I was angry- such a simple gesture, but it wasn't simple to me. It was the world and all the universes combined into a single second of complete compassion.
I cherished every single kiss of his, I savored the taste of his tongue, I basked in the warmth of his embrace- time didn't exist when I was enveloped in his arms.
Months down the road, and I still reminisce on every single detail of all of our memories together; hoping that one day maybe fate will be ever so kind and have our paths cross once more-
