We are
two lovers
limbs tangled underneath a single sheet on a cold night
clinging to each other for warmth
we are two friends, tied together
but the red string of faith
in a loving embrace
I’ve started so many poems I don’t know how to finish
because I can’t find the right way to say I love you
but I have prayed to a god
I never believe existed until I met you
that he could give me the words to so eloquently tell you
just how much
you mean to me
I am no god fearing man
But I have prayed
that I get to wake up next to you every morning
that our children are a whole lot of you
mixed with a little bit of the person you love most
that we grow old together
that one day
we call four walls and a bed home
