When I asked God to give me a sign,
a Sagittarius wasn't what I had in mind,
but I want nothing more than
to spend everyday tripping over our feet
and into new adventures.
You have a wicked sense of humour that
makes your eyes sparkle
and when you laugh I feel it in my chest.
I feel everything,
Like when you wouldn't let go of my
hand when you got that tattoo
or when you told me about
all the things you would change about yourself.
I felt that and I broke.
I still remember when you wrinkled your nose
and told me about the scar on your thigh.
You have a birthmark shaped like Massachusetts
and I want to take you everywhere.
You worry too much
about too much
and I don't mind reassuring you
that I'm the one with good balance
and you're the one that ought to be careful.
I didn't mean to fall in love with you,
love is an anchor and
baby I believed I was built for speed.
I like how you slow things down, though.
I didn't notice how many things
are living and loving
until we fed the ducks at the park
and watched some ants build a home.
I've never had a home, but I never had you before.
