(this is just a random group of poems about someone special to me)
You're perfect to me
A marine holding my heart
please come home safe, love
Classified deployment
three months
It's already been almost over a month since I heard from him
And this is what I hear
I know he is safe at least.
Safe for now
Damnit I miss him
He is my love
One more year until I see him again
Even though he isn't beside me
I still feel his looks
Even though we haven't spoken in a few months
I still know him
Even though he is not here
He still protects me
Even though
Even though
Even though he is closed off
I got him to open up
Even though we are different
We love the same
Even though I feel alone
I will never leave
Even though
Even though
Even though he isn't officially mine
I still love him
Even though I thought I loved another
I never did love anyone but him
Even though he is there
I know he will be home
Even though I always knew
It's slowly setting in
Holding your hand as we drove through town.
It was everything we used to be.
I watched as you held that flag
Memories washed over you.
You told me you loved me.
Year later I had forgotten this words
I tried to forget
Not realizing you still loved me
My friend says I'm in love with our memories and when you come back I will no longer be.
If that's true...
I don't know what I'll do
did you fall in love when we first met?
when you first sat down in front of me?
did you sit by me just to be nice
i was the only freshman after all
did you hate him before he ever threatened me or was it just after?
did you know that i was troubled?
or did you think i was perfect the whole time?
did you mean for me to meet your friends that day you made me miss me bus?
or was it just by chance?
did you tell them you liked me?
or were they just making fun?
why did you ask me to ask you to stay?
i told you so many times that i would support you in any choice you made
did you fall in love?
or were you just playing?
did you love that girl you told me about?
or was she just a mistake
you asked me to your prom
my dad wouldn't let me go
do you blame me for that?
did you know i was troubled
and was that why you didn't open up to me?
will you tell me about your mother?
will you introduce me to your family
did you mean it when you said you would take me with you?
did you mean it when you said you would help me with my bucket list?
do you love me like i love you?
do you love me too?
youre back
im gone
you're here
im there
you've found love
but i'm lost in no man's land
i still hold on to the hugs you left me with
you laugh
i cry
you smile
i hide
you love her
but i love you
i'm still holding on to the hugs you left me with
Are we star crossed lovers?
or did we just meet at a bad time?
the military life is what you were made for
you dreamt of it long before i met you
or so ive been told
in japan did you love the ocean?
or was it too vast for you to go near
I hate the ocean
it frightens me
my favorite painting is of the ocean
a japanese painting
I wish i could have gone to japan with you
it's always been a dream of mine
your brown eyes remind me of the Maumee River
clouded with pollution so you can't see through
safe to swim in but you must be careful
once the storms come everywhere floods
you keep yourself guarded not letting a soul in
i tried and broke you down a bit
but not fully
let me in, love
please let me in
