My backbone

by shelby-lynn-1

I love you so much. But I don’t know exactly who you are A combination of all my favorite people! Or a question of who I truly want. Your eyes are so beautiful Your body is perfect. Your hair; as soft as the breeze Your kisses relax me. Your gentle laughter brightens my day Your obnoxious laughter makes me giggle; I know it’s just you now. Your arms are strong enough to hold me forever. Your touch is gentle enough to put me to sleep. When I hear your voice, I fall in love all over again You don’t realize how much I need you. I need you like a bird needs wings or a tree needs roots. Sure, birds can walk, but it’s just not the same. Yes, trees can lie down; but can’t you see they’re dead? I’ll never stray from you. I’ll stay near as long as you’ll have me. I’ll be here as long as you need me; if you need me at all. You, though, I feel like you don’t need me. I feel like you need someone, but it’s not me. I wish it could be me. I don’t know how to make that happen. Your advice gets through to my core. I listen, I truly do. The sincerity in your voice astounds me You really are a nice person; you mean no harm. I would do anything for you. Anything at all. You have been with me through thick and thin no matter what. You are my best friend. You are my lover. You are my therapist and my conscience. You are my co-workers and my family. I love you so much.
