Place your hand against my cheek;
The one you kissed many years ago

We were young once,
So full of life and
We were curious;
You more than I

I was distracted,
You were determined
I was blinded,
You felt deserted

I broke away from you,
Me, like a boat's heavy anchor
Pulled back to the surface
By the man strong enough to hold on

It was you.
We came back together,
Crashing
Like waves, in unison
Picking up where we had left off

This time, it was I
Who needed the comfort
And just as before,
You were there

How many times you saved me from myself,
How many smiles I've shared with my
Bedroom walls,
You'll never truly know

Place your hand here, now
Look into my eyes,
The ones who have seen all of you
And chose to come back each time

This time, I hope
Our souls stay connected
I hope this love remains,
Everlasting,
Meaningful,
Always,
The same

Have you ever heard of the line, “The ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s been swept away?”

Well, I’m the shoreline, and he’s the ocean.
He’s never given up.

And I love him for that.

I love you,
With every fibre,
Every atom
Of my body

I love you with each
Drop of blood,
Every cell,
Every inch of skin

I love you with
Each and every
Part of my being

With every muscle
And every bone

I love you,
It sounds complex

But it feels simple

I love you, simply,
With each and every
Part of me

I've given you
Each and every
Part of me

In a sweet and simple
Love

I love you so, so much.

Yes,
I know,
Sometimes it feels like all the people
who you've once loved and cared for,
are the very ones trying to dig
your own grave

And yes,
I know,
It feels like the world is crumbling down
at the very touch of your fingertips,
while everyone else is ecstatic and enthusiastic
about the life that they're living.

I know what it's like,
to believe that your being
is far more useless and unimportant
than anyone else's

And yes,
I know that all you want is
for the people you
love and care about,
to just love and care for you back

But sometimes, yes
we need to realize that
what we want
isn't always possible

And that being cared about,
or loved, or treated with
the respect we deserve,
isn't always palpable

But yes,
I also know that to me,
your eyes are able to light
up an entire room,
when I'm surrounded by darkness

And I know
that you can get knocked down
over and over and over again,
and I would still be there each time,
to bring you back to your feet

Because I know
that you are worth more than
what any harsh words,
or human damage
can do to you

And I know,
that there are an unimaginable
amount of places and things
for you to go,
and for you to see

And you
should never let
anyone's mistakes
or inconsiderateness
break you down

Because I know
how special you are,
and I wouldn't ever let that
slip out of my grasp

You are stronger than diamond,
your loveliness is  greater
than the depth of the sea,
you are capable of amazing things,

And,
I know this.

Water is falling and
Rain drops drip
Onto the Earth,
Creating new life

The sky roars,
Surroundings tremble
As if the sky has just
Awoken after thousands
Of years

But, an array of light
Shines through the clouds
A captivating sight;
This is the beauty of the storm

I often daydream of
Your hands on my hips
While I watch your eyes
Intently, looking for hints

Piercing eyes
And a dangerous smile;
He had soft lips that
Spilt words like honey,
And a tongue that
Moaned my name.
