Original Poems

Everything.

What if I had never met you?
What if I had never started talking to you?
What if I had never started to care for you?
What if I hadn't cuddled with you?
What if I had never looked into your ice blue eyes?
What if I had never gotten close enough to read your emotions by the way you type?
What if I couldn't tell by the color of your eyes how you're feeling?
What if the way you looked at me didn't tell me so much about you?
What if I didn't know you at all?

Would you still be that stranger that I was secretly in love with?
Would you be that person I would always be looking for?
Would you still be the one that had my heart?
Would I still spend all my time thinking about you because you're exactly what I imagined you to be?
Would I still always want to be with you?
Would I always want to feel your body pressed up against mine in an effort to be comforted?
Would I still want to kiss you every time I saw you?
Would I still get chills when I heard you say my name?
Would I still feel electricity when you touched my skin?

You've caused me pain and happiness in one.
You've comforted me when no one else could.
You've comforted me when no one else would.
You've spent more time listening and caring for me than I imagined anyone ever would.
You've stuck with me through all of my bullshit.
You've tolerated people who you hate because it made me happy.
You've spent days worrying about me because of one strange message I sent you.
You've saved me from my thoughts and feelings.
You've saved me from everything I was afraid of because I was no longer on my own.

You're everything I want.
You're everything I need.
You're everything I ask for.
You're the smile of my everyday.
You're the one who takes away my pain.
You're the one who makes me laugh when I just want to cry.
You're my weakness.
You're my strength.
You're my everything.

Your icy blue eyes.
Your curly hair that you always feel like you have to straighten.
Your strength.
Your tattoos.
Your smile.
Your laugh.
Your voice.
Your pain.
Your weaknesses.

I know that you know all this.
I know that you care.
I know that you want to be there for me.
I know that you worry about me.
I know that you want to spend time with me.
I know that you love my eyes.
I know that you don't want to lose me.
I know that you want what's best for me.
I know that you don't think that's you.

But I know that it is.
