you

I do this all the time

but i’ve never done it with someone like you

you with a quiet stare

you with strong but soft hands

you with lips that bring me to my hands and knees

you with family trauma

you with a depth so special, so true

you with a thousand talents

you with grace

-

me i’m nobody

but you, you’re the entire world

in my eyes you are so perfect it makes me sea sick

lightheaded and scared

to me, you are quite honestly the most beautiful person I have ever known

and I have known a lot of beautiful people

-

i’m searching for the words to try to say this

it’s a fucking mess

I’ll trip and I’ll stumble

if I say what I truly mean

I’ll be thrown overboard

but i’m not getting any younger and the years aren’t getting any slower

so here’s a try —

-

I have fallen so deep into you

i’m afraid I can never get out

because i’d learn what death feels like

I have become so intertwined with your soul I feel the roots growing between us

there is no growing back now

so here is what I propose to you —

-

how about forever together?
