The days grow longer and longer
Because you never came home
Because every time I close my eyes
Your face is behind these moist lids
A day became a week within seconds
Thinking you would be safe soon
But that was just a dream
No worries. These days that's all I do
Wait, forever, these days.

There is a girl I met today,
Who stood out among all others.
Straight as a I tight rope
I told her she was gorgeous.
She blushed, the warmth,
I almost melted.
What is going on?
How can this girl, only this girl,
Make me feel this way?
Still never will compare
To the love I am in now.
Yet her soul was too beautiful to surpass.
Her smile, her laugh, her clothing, her voice,
I want to keep them with me forever.

I want to write a poem about him
About how absolutely perfect he is
About how his smile makes me melt
And every time I see him time stands still

But I can't

People who read could never understand
The most painful time without him
Is the week after he leaves me
And the three days before he returns
Everything in between is only a little less excruciating

I just can't

His beauty really surpasses all others:
Soft hair, the color of a morning sunrise
Eyes the color of a blue bird's egg
A body chiseled by gods

How can I?

The way he talks is almost foreign
Never have I met a more intelligent person
To be treated like an equal is refreshing
He doesn't know he is terrific, perfect, stunning.

I won't ever do him justice.

It never stopped,
Never halted.
Never ceased to amaze.
The beauty of this rain,
And the strength.
With which it crushed
the breath of many.
Choked
Suffocated
Broke
