I wish I could write lines
that more clearly defined
my feelings when I'm with you.
I find myself inspired to write
mostly when I feel I might
break apart at the seams.
However, I wish to recite all
of the beautiful small
ways we fit.
Like how when we talk
it's as though we've already walked
miles together through time.
Time could stand still
or double at will
because no amount is enough.
There is never a case
where I would erase
any of the time spent together.
The care and respect
you show for me elect
you as someone of great interest to me.
We get along so fine
I wish to call you mine
at last beyond all that we have gone through.
I wish to apologize for the mess
I made in my stress
sorting through all I have been feeling.
But being open and honest
has helped our relationship
to blossom more than otherwise.
I pray that as we continue to grow
we will come to know
each other more.
I hope you will see
that we feel meant to be
just as I do now.
I don't know how this will go
but as we continue to take this slow
I am starting to see my future in you.
So, until my next verse,
I will practice and rehearse
so I can better paint the picture of our warmth and connection.
