I
  spend
     too
   many
   hours
      in
     my
    head,
wondering
  whether
       I
    spend
   nearly
       as
    many
        in
     your
     head.

       In
     your
hesitation
        I
   found
      my
  answer.
We are all just fighting to survive a world where "I miss you" doesn't mean I'm coming back and "I love you" doesn't mean I'm here to stay and "I' changed my mind" means you lied on purpose and just didn't want to say you lied so you said "I changed my mind." Why is it when the story ends we begin to feel all of it"?

Some of
            my most favorite
     seconds  on  earth  are the
            seconds filled
   with my lips spilled upon
          your collarbone
    and your hair nestled into
                    my fist.
               You were the
           hardest lesson I've
                   ever had
              to learn and I'm
                     afraid
             I'll miss you
                   forever.

My arms
         are  strong  enough
         to hold every fear,
                      every
         beautiful broken
                   piece
                   of you.
           I am here, not
                to make
        you feel complete,
                   but to
            complete you.
               I am not
         going anywhere,
           the only time
    I'll let go of your hand
                   is to
            grab your ***.

   I think about how far I've
            roamed and
   the things that I've seen,
          when   all   along ,
            I  was  yours.
There was so much to see
         on the way to
           your door.

      There is no path to
           happiness;
        happiness   is
            the path.
                                                           ­                                Jon York    2019

I LOVE YOU
              in  the  morning,
                       IN THE
                         afternoon,
               I LOVE YOU
                 in the evening,
               UNDERNEATH
                      the moon.

               IT WILL ALWAYS
                    be a mystery
              TO ME HOW
                       we can't forget
               THE LOVE THAT
                            forgot us.

Love isn't meant
          to be easy. It doesn't appear
                       on command.
            It  doesn't  let  you  fall  for
         wh­omever  you  like. It  surfaces
          neither at the most opportune
     moment  nor   in the  most  convenient.
            It'll put you face to face with
                      endless obstacles.
           But  in  the  end,  none  of  that
                      will matter, because
         it's how you overcome it's obstacles
                     that define your love.
      But  love  is  ultimately  the  best thing
                 that will ever happen to you.              
                       Every time  I'm
               close to the sea, the oceans,
                    they start to weep,
       wishing  they  were  half  as  wide,
             as my love for you is deep.
                   My eyes saw you,
        but ****, did my soul feel you
               and know that we are in
           each   others   life   for   a   reason,
                 thank you for showing up
There's untamed electricity, coursing through
        your veins, and it shocks me when
  I  kiss  you  but   believe  me, it's   worth
                             the pain.
                 And you never craved
                  attention,  until  you  
                           tasted  mine.
            And I just want to make you
                    the happiest girl  
                 you  have  ever  been
