You are my sun
My moon
And all my stars
Without you
I would have nothing to grow the flowers of my mind
Nothing to light the path in the dark of night
Nothing to gaze out at
When I need some hope
That there is more out there
For you and me
You are the metal rod in my spine
Keeping me from falling over
You are the pencil in my hand
Begging me to try just one more time
You are the smile
That lights up my face
When you whisper “I love you”
You are the pink elephant I clutch
As I fall asleep
Keeping me warm
You are the 18 pairs of Converse
Inhabiting my bedroom floor
Always providing me protection
You are my freedom
The thing I will always fight for
You are the tissue
Always wiping away my tears
You are the tracks on my brain
Reminding me of how lucky I am
You are the hose
Spraying down my burning kitchen
Washing away all the bad
To preserve all the good
You are my legs
Giving me the strength I need
To dive off the block
To sprint from the starting line
To wake up each morning just to see you
You are my camera
Snapping memories that will never fade
You are my safety knot
Always there if I need you
Always there even if I don’t
You are my favorite sweater
My security blanket
My warmth
You are my hands
Feeling the softness of your skin
The bite of the first snow
You are rainy days
Perfect for movies
Wrapped up in blankets
You are my heart
Filling my veins
With all they need
But most of all
You are my brain
Keeping me going
Making everything work
Giving me ideas
Letting me love you
You are my love
