The Only Love Poem I Ever Want To Write

I don't love my body.

But I love my body with yours.

I don't love the rain.

But I love the rain as it drips from your bottom lip.

I have memorized you,

And I know you.

And like this you know me.

I know every inch of your skin.

Every scrape and scar.

I know what hurts you,

For what hurts you, hurts me.

I want to hurt when you hurt,

I want to cry when you cry.

And laugh when you laugh.

Then hold our breath together.

I want to inhale your exhale.

And give everything to you.

I want to look at you forever,

The way you look at me.

I want to hold your face in my hands,

The way you hold me together everyday.

You are my keeper.

Keep me well.

And everyday ill keep your heart,

Inside my heart.

I love you from its deepest depths,

And from its highest heights.

When you walk, I walk.

My footprint fits in yours.

What fills me is you.

What kills me is you.

My heart, My keeper, My love.
