Every part of my body fits with yours,
your hands fit my hips,
your lips fit mine,
the same way puzzle pieces fit so perfectly together to create a bigger picture.
We could be a big picture.
But it will only work if we're together.
If we fit.
Puzzles take time and patience.
Patience is a virtue that I do not possess,
but with you I believe I could learn.
You have taught me so many things.
How it feels to be loved.
How it feels to really be loved.
How it feels to have someone so close almost slip away.
How it feels to have someone you trust so much that you'd let them rewrite everything you've ever known.
How it feels to trust someone so much that a simple "I'm sorry" or "I'm proud of you" fixes everything and makes everything melt around you.
You taught me what it feels like to actually love someone.
You taught me what it's like to love someone so much you put them first.
What have I taught you?
Nothing that I know of.
I feel like I need to work harder.
The pieces fit.
So why do I feel like there are some missing?
