when everything is lonely
and I can be my own best friend
loving parts of me
that no one claps for,
and trying to convince my own shadow
that I'm someone
worth following,
I think of how
I could watch you for a single moment,
a blink of an eye
and I would've found one million reasons
to fall in love with you
when my thoughts drift to you
I imagine that
being with you
will be like observing a 24 hour night sky
there will be starlight in your skin
and your smile will be the only crescent moon
I’d want to see all day long
when my thoughts drift to you
I think of how your eyes are the fireworks played
on New Year's eve
except they don't just light up the night for
30 minutes
they are the only fireworks in firework history
deserved to be seen
all year long
when my thoughts drift to you
I wonder,
when you pictured the one that you would someday love
did my description
match anything you first thought about ?
did you picture a boy scared of cats
whose happiest moments included
having a pen in his hand
did you picture a boy
apologizing too much for taking so long
to mend the cracks in his heart
or for how difficult it is for him
to unhinge his jaw to explain his problems
regardless,
I will never apologize for letting you in
but I hope I’m not coming off too strongits just that
I've waited for
21 years, 5 months and 17 days
to meet you
and now that you're finally here
it feels like a heart-stopping
roller coaster ride that has
taken its course
it feels like
I'll never be able to stop smiling
even if I were to get hit by a truckit feels like
I've been pushed
to fall for you
from a 10-story high diving board
into a 10-inch deep pooland I can assure you that when I fell,
I fell hard
when my thoughts drift to you
I don't like to think of you
as my soulmate
it implies that I didn't have a choice
I'd like to think of you as
the love of my life
because I'm exactly where
I want to be
