An ode to you
Lovely
Whoever you might be
for being that someone to consistently revitalize my energy
I’m charged up over the thought of you standing beside me
reminding me to smile when I’m no longer motivated to
with all the pressures and expectations of the world
I couldn’t be happier to be lost in every moment we share
Indeed, the warmth of our embrace lingers on the expressions of our faces
well, at least it does on mine
I mean sometimes I just smile, in the hopes that you’ll smirk right back at me
as if I’m checking that there isn’t a thing you need
that I can get to you quickly
have you noticed?
My fingers often speak for me
when my lips don’t have the time to explain
lightly tracing the fabric that conceals your stomach
as if to reassure you, “I’ll be right here, just call on my name.”

hoping when our eyes meet again
you can see it’s you I’ve been seeking
peeking over in your direction from time to time
just to admire your radiance
baby the strength of your presence is pleasantly overwhelming
even now I lose sleep
over how the thought of you seeps into my mind
you deserve every rhyme
I intend to cherish every moment of our time
because of all the people and all the places
I can’t help but wonder
what luck I must have
to be able to have crossed paths
with someone so special,
such a beautiful soul
I just hope that you know
how genuinely happy you make me.

thank you for trusting me
thank you for loving me
thank you for being so light hearted and carefree
thank you for showing me,
that I wasn’t foolish to have believed in you
I’m simply happy I never withdrew and subdued
the internal tactician that usually plans too far in advance
killing the romance
All I want to do is reciprocate the feeling and keep you safe
thank you for reigniting my faith.
It’s so indescribable, what you do to me.
