You're asleep right here,
Right now,
Right next to me.

The rhythmic sound of your
Breathing
Really should
Lull me off into a
Nap with you.

But today I am consistently
Thinking,
As I have been for the past few days,
About how much you mean to me.

How do I explain
That for years you've been exactly what I've
Needed,
And here,
And now,
You're what I want too.

Maybe I wasn't ready
This time last year
Or this time four years ago
For you to come back.

Maybe this timing is as perfect
As it feels.

Because when I tell you
"I Love You"
I'm trying to say all the things
I'm too scared to say.

I'm not talking about flighty flakey romance.
I'm talking about the vivid everlasting desire
To live life by your side.

If I said I wasn't scared
I'd be lying to you.

I'm so scared of being wrong,
Of getting hurt.
Of investing too much of myself.

But Bluebird, you have to know by now.
We've known each other for practically half our lives, almost more.
I've never doubted you,
Or maybe my faith in humanity
Has always been there,
Because maybe some subconscious
Part of me has known that this was it.

My heart flutters,
Knowing that you're next to me,
And restful,
Peaceful.

If there is a day
Or more that there are moments
Of only bliss,
Then I am fully aware that today
Is the beginning to those days.
