An Ode To You

An ode to you

Lovely

Whoever you might be

for being that someone to consistently revitalize my energy

I’m charged up over the thought of you standing beside me

reminding me to smile when I’m no longer motivated to

with all the pressures and expectations of the world

I couldn’t be happier to be lost in every moment we share

Indeed, the warmth of our embrace lingers on the expressions of our faces

well, at least it does on mine

I mean sometimes I just smile, in the hopes that you’ll smirk right back at me

as if I’m checking that there isn’t a thing you need

that I can get to you quickly

have you noticed?

My fingers often speak for me

when my lips don’t have the time to explain

lightly tracing the fabric that conceals your stomach

as if to reassure you, “I’ll be right here, just call on my name.”

 

hoping when our eyes meet again

you can see it’s you I’ve been seeking

peeking over in your direction from time to time

just to admire your radiance

baby the strength of your presence is pleasantly overwhelming

even now I lose sleep

over how the thought of you seeps into my mind

you deserve every rhyme

I intend to cherish every moment of our time

because of all the people and all the places

I can’t help but wonder

what luck I must have

to be able to have crossed paths

with someone so special,

such a beautiful soul

I just hope that you know

how genuinely happy you make me.

 

thank you for trusting me

thank you for loving me

thank you for being so light hearted and carefree

thank you for showing me,

that I wasn’t foolish to have believed in you

I’m simply happy I never withdrew and subdued

the internal tactician that usually plans too far in advance

killing the romance

All I want to do is reciprocate the feeling and keep you safe

thank you for reigniting my faith.

It’s so indescribable, what you do to me.
