I thought about a wave crashing up instead of down
A tank-top wedding
A beach filled with more sand than water
A star that looked like an octagon
And a lollipop shaped like a square
Can there be a universe like that somewhere?

"I love you." She says.
And gets a quick response.
But those three words
Have more meaning for one
Filled with bubbles and weddings and cigarettes.

"Don't go." she pleads.
And they stay there together
For a few moments longer.
She never wants this moment to end
Filled with bubbles and weddings and cigarettes.

"Let's run away." She suggests.
And hears a "Yes, right now."
She knows it's all in fun
But She dreams of those days
Filled with bubbles and weddings and cigarettes.

"Live with me?" she asks.
And she means it in a way,
To be together always.
But not in the way that She wants
Filled with bubbles and weddings and cigarettes.

"I miss you." She cries.
And nothing is said.
She breaks down inside
But She won't let it show.
All those bubbles and weddings and cigarettes.

What do you choose?

A shorter man that moulds his heart of gold into your every desire.
Or..
A taller man incapable of unwrapping his tin foil heart for even the most simple things you require.

Chasing dreams of perfect heights to hang a perfect wedding picture on that perfect family portrait wall.

Perfect is hard to come by, careful or you'll miss it. Looking in all the wrong places.

“Ethan, do you think someone will deeply love me in the future? Do you think that someone will love me so much that even though he has seen me walk to him so many times before, he'll cry once he see me walk to him in white with flowers in my hand?”

He's out there right now,
In some other place,
Another street or city or state,
Another girl's bed or another guy's couch,
Wondering what he's missing.

She's out there waiting,
Drinking coffee or tea,
Or iced ***** Gimlets,
Poetry tattooed across her arm,
Needy hearts drawn across her notebook.

You'll meet at a bar,
Lonely souls craving contact,
Awkward hellos and quiet flirtations,
Free drinks from him and a phone number from her,
Your wedding is next fall.

Finger soldered brilliant new gold band
proudly circling nuptial sun
orbiting eclipsing the clans
completing a family connexion
with others ovoid chipped but fondly funded
wearing thin on hardened blue veined hands
some waving some proclaiming all belonging.

I remember,
When the sun kissed the moon
On our first date.
We were shackled
By our romantic stares.

I remember when you stood
Down the aisle
Waiting for my warm embrace.

I remember when I cried
You consoled my breaking heart,

I remember the call
That told me you were not alright.

I remember you being taken
By the glowing angels
That wanted to be selfish.

I remember being blind by
Fury and alcohol

I remember being drunk
I remember the cliff
I remember the pain
I remember you meeting me
At the big white door.

Make my heart beat for you and you alone. I want to spend every moment with you and when I’m not, I want to be thinking of you. Your love is greater than life itself. It’s a miracle that you could fall in love with a fool like me. You know all of my deepest secrets there is nothing I can hide from you my love. To feel you near me is to know peace and rest and when I’m scared, I feel safe when you hold me close to your chest. I’m not perfect and sometimes I fall, but know that I am sincere and earnest when I proclaim that I want to love respect and treat you like you really deserve. I want you to be the only one for me and I want for your happiness more than anything else. Help me to be all that you see in me and help me to see it too. I want to be your friend, your confidant, your other half. I want to be wholly yours. May our two hearts be joined so as to beat as one and share a bond so strong it cannot be undone? I want to wake up each morning with you next to my side and fall deeper in love with you each day. I want to keep learning about you all the time; I want to be able to be surprised years from now. I never want to be bored with loving you. I want to be so comfortable with each other for silence to not be awkward. I want to find a million different ways to show you how much I love you not just tell you I love you. I want to live selfless love and give myself up for you. I want to die to who I was and all of the obstacles that hold me back from giving me to you completely. I also know there is no such thing as perfect and there will be tough times, and I want to learn how to communicate well so that we can make it through together and come out stronger. I vow to stay by your side and help you in every way I can. All of this I want, and I am willing to do whatever it takes together to make this dream a reality forever. I love you.
