I wish I loved a poet
so I could be immortalized in words
so stories about me could be written in verse
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could be an inspiration
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could be the writer
just once

I wish I loved a poet
so I could help them when they realize
that the world of dreams is just that

I wish I loved a poet
so I could teach them of reality
of the beauty and the pain and the mystery

I wish I loved a poet
so I could show them the stars
so I could teach them how to reach them

I wish I loved a poet
so we could watch the night
and wonder

just once

I was sort of like the moon
Not always complete
But always shining bright

Then

I saw something bright
Out of the corner of my eye

you

Shining even brighter than me
You let your light
Touch everything around you
So loving
So trusting
So wonderful

Your warm light touched my skin
And I had a feeling
That you weren't as complete
As you appeared to be

But once we began to bask in each other's glow
It was suddenly alright that we weren't whole

I first fell in love
with your smile
then your eyes
then your soul

I ought to make things right before I leave;
Says it's not right leaving without a goodbye;
Yet I find he's always been the one leaving;
And his absence becomes more excruciating each time;
So, where's the right in that?

what a strange feeling
you gave me a look
and hornets started buzzing around in my stomach
you reached for my hand
and my heart felt like it was being squeezed
your lips brushed mine
and i just about melted

what strange feeling
being in love is
