I call you my nerd,
not for the word,
but for the way your eyes light up
when you fall into details
tiny facts, long explanations,
worlds you love so much
you invite me to live in them with you.
You speak, and time slows.
Every sentence is a doorway,
every passion a map of your heart.
I listen, not just with my ears,
but with the part of me
that already knows you matter.
And your smile
warm as morning sunlight through curtains
finds me even on my darkest days.
It pulls a smile from my own lips
before I realize I was smiling at all.
It feels like home
discovering itself in my chest.
I love you deeply,
in the quiet way that prays instead of shouts.
In the way that fears loss
because it has found something irreplaceable.
I don’t want a world
where you are only a memory.
So if reality ever dares to loosen its grip,
let me keep you at least in my dreams
where you are mine,
where your voice never fades,
where your smile always finds me,
and where love
doesn’t have to ask permission to stay.

and where love

This is about someone that I love very deeply and I don't want to loose him him at all.
