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-

& 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.
