at 30,000 feet in the air
i collapsed
my heart sank
my legs gave out
and i stopped breathing
you filled my thoughts
you filled my veins
you filled my eyes
you told me
that i would never see you
ever again
and that was enough
enough to **** me
at 30,000 feet in the air
i realized that love
is about never wanting to lose
the person who makes your heart beat

the stars
in the sky
are screaming at us
to shine like they do
but we refuse to
we make ourselves small
we don't let others
see our light
we are afraid of ourselves

i am not ready for my grave
i haven't married
the girl of my dreams yet
she is studying
and she is thinking about me
while she should be thinking
about calculus or chemistry
and she is not ready for her grave
because she hasn't married
the boy of her dreams yet
he is here
writing a poem about how
he isn't ready to die yet
because he hasn't checked the last thing
off of his bucket list yet

do not kiss me
unless you will miss me
you better cry every night
and cry every morning
when i am not around
i want it to hurt
in your chest
in your veins
that i am not around
do not kiss me
unless you will miss me
because once i have you
the tears will roll like waves
the pain will blitz like linebackers
once i have you

love is the only thing
that can **** us
girl, it will **** you
and it will take me with you
if we let it
if we get weak
if we give up
it will **** us
because love doesn't care
it has no mercy
and we can't have any either
lets make it work
today
tomorrow
the day after
the week after
until we are old and grey
and then, and only then
does love have our permission
to take us away

the world only stops
when she is the right one
it only dances
when she will steal your heart
the world only cries
when you are about to lose her
the world only smiles
when she is smiling
the world only laughs
when she embarrasses herself
the world only screams
when you two are fighting
but the world loves her
so so much
the world appreciates her
you should too
before the world cries forever

maybe i should
ask her to marry me
she is all i think about
i would die if i didn't have her
when i wake up
she is the first person i think about
before i shut my eyes at night
i see her in the dark
i see her in my heart
and in my soul
i will never let her go
i hope she is ready
because lord knows
i have been ready
for so long
