i wrote you
a poem
about what we've been through.

about how you
promise and swear
that our love is true.

about how you
wake me up a.m.
and how my faith renews.

about how you
strum your guitar
and swear only shades of blue
come from the sounds
leaking out of your music
and i only sit as my love surrounds.

about how you
wrap & hold me tight
afraid that i might
decide to leave on the next flight.

about how you
will always stick around
to enjoy the view
just as long as i stay
and
about how you
used to pray
every single day
of what we will have
and
about how you
plead we will
never astray.

about how you
speak about us
about how you
say i should trust
when you speak
about our city
apartment.
where we would have leaks
from the pipes
and a fire escape on our balcony.

about how you
will always be
sitting forever
right next to me.
