I have spent the days
memorizing the shape of your lips
and the way your voice
seems to whisper my name
in the most comforting tone
I have ever let my ears hear.
I try to shut out most things
like the way even after
half a year, six months
you still give me the butterflies
that corrupted my stomach
on that very first day.
I have kissed some lips
but none of them make a difference.
The only thing that’s ever
on my mind is you..
I have seen a thousand faces
and heard a million melodies
but none of them sing
like my heartbeat does
in your presence.
So I apologize if every instance
makes me worried that
you will no longer
be the chest to where I lay my head.
I apologize that you’re the only one
I wish to share my bed.
Please believe that I have walked
a thousand seas and waded
more than a million miles
only to find what I’d always been
looking for and that’s you.
My eyes opened to a world
never known.
You showed me a place called home.
