Five years
Have gone.
They passed me by
Like a summer breeze.
Blowing my hair around my face
For only a moment before,
It was all past me.
It's taken a while,
But it's as if everything has just
Shifted into place,
Like planets aligning.
Because, from our house
By the ocean, I can see the stars at night.
I sleep next to you
And I no longer meet you
In my dreams because you're here,
With me,
Every single day.
It hasn't been plain sailing,
So to speak;
University was difficult, and
Although I had friends to make things
Easier, the hardest part
Was not having you around.
However,
Even now,
We never run out of things to say. Despite our lives having
Taken their individual turns.
Our love has yet to fade, I think.
I can't believe how this has happened,
But you make me completely and extraordinarily happy.
The sight of you still leaves me giddy.
They way you touch me
Leaves me feeling like sunbeams and moonbeams combined
Have tinged my skin.
And when you kiss me, the rain pours down.
And it feels like we're everywhere, neither belonging
Or lost.
I need you still
And I know,
We'll make it somehow.
