do you ever lay down at night
and think
what side of the bed
will i sleep on
when the person
I love
enters my life

do you ever lick your lips
and think
what would it feel like
to have that person
run their tongue
along your chapped lips

do you ever wonder when
that moment will show its face

when someone will
love you so much
your heart hurts

when someone will
help you be the best
version of yourself
you could possibly be

when someone will
hold your hand
and trace
tiny circles
in the inside
of your palm

when someone will
know when to
comfort you
when to hold you

I think about these things
all the time

I think about what
our wedding day
will be like
with the ones we love
standing proudly
with tears in their eyes

I think about what
having our first baby
will be like
and how much
happiness will
rain on our lives

I think about what
our fights
will be like
and how we will forgive
and forget
and continue
loving

because I know I will love you
with my entire being

I will feel your warmth
deep within my soul

it will wrap itself
around my heart
and hold it
prisoner
forever
and ever

and when we die
we will spend another
life
searching for
one another

and when we find each other
again
all those dark days
will explode
with endless light

and it will start all over
again
and again
again

please don't ever let it end
