That doesn't sound "fancy"

It doesn't seem like a "title"

But what real name does?

It Isn't new or original,

Its just me

Isn't that good enough?

You
You consume my thoughts

You overtake my brain

You control my dreams

All I see Is you

I am yet to know you

But I know your face

I know your laugh

I know your challenge

You make me better

Even though I don't know your best side

You make me smarter

Even though I'm yet to know your smartest side

You enlarge my dreams

Even though I'm yet to know your largest dream

You give me the biggest smile

Although I also gave you yours

It may not last

But for now you stay you

You

I thank God

You sent me here

I didn't want to move

But I'm glad I did

I didn't want to stop loving him

But I'm glad I did

I didn't want to be creative

But I'm glad I did

You placed these people here
In my path
To force me through doors I didn't see

I didn't want to open the doors

so you presented me with the people who would do It with me

And I thank you for that

Thank God

For placing me on the journey I am now In love with

I used to believe that your peers mattered

Until I met you

I thought that age should be similar

Until I met you

I didn't know that a few years could mean so much

Until I met you

I tried to fit around It

But mental capacity wasn't enough

The wall the age built was far to large for me to manage

I couldn't climb It

Now you're gone

Another chance missed

If only age wasn't a factor

well,
I guess It's just my age.

I know you're not the one
I'd like you to be
Sadly you're not

What we had was fun

But It's over

Yes I'll miss your smiling face
the way you make me laugh
and the tears you could dry
Yes I'll miss you

I know you'll miss me too

But what we had was Fun
Just fun

Nothing more, nothing less

I liked you
You liked me

No where was love

I'll miss your kind of fun
It was a different kind of fun
An awesome type of fun

It was fun
Just fun

I would like to reach you
but I can't

I would like to teach you
But I can't

I would like to learn from you
But I can't

I would like to leave you
But I can't

I would like to kiss you
But I can't

I would like to laugh with you
But I can't

I would like to love you
But guess what? I can't

Well,
Maybe I can
I can't say I tried

I thought about how
I thought about why

Maybe I can

If only I try
