In My Mind: The World From The View Of A Pessimistic Optimist

A Poem For My Love

Every night before I lay my head down,
I wonder how I didn't drown.
The world suffocated me with hate
And you showered me with love.
Still wondering why,
Even as I held your hand as an almost complete stranger under this wonderful night sky
I won't scar your young heart, cross my heart and hope to die.

Scared that you would fly away,
I hold you close to me even to this day. Four months later and we are still together. I have the strongest feeling of being light as a feather.

At the end of the day, whenever that may be. I pray that you stay right by me. Because I was made for loving you, even if I'm just a hopeless heart just passing through.

Please don't go. I've been waiting for so long. And what you don't know, is that my love for you comes from my soul.

I'm just a city boy. Lost in the concrete jungles. Feet on the ground and eyes to the sky. Where right before my eyes I see you fly by. My city dove, flying between the stars and the streetlights. Grab my hand and take me with you until the world shows me my stop sign.

A constant in my life like the sun,
Hopefully staying with me all year long.
traveling with me as the seasons turn
I hope you can see that I'm with you for the long run.

Maybe one day the world will see,
Just how much you mean to me.
Please let those rumors be, they aren't anything that you should believe.

They don't want to see us shine
So they make us look stupid or act like they are blind. But our love is something that even a blind man can see, because my heart is in you and yours is in me.

As I sift through the rubble, trying to find me even after my stumble. You are with me just as the sky is with the sea. And even as I learn new things about me, I fall more in love with you.

But as you look through the microscope at this messed up world. I know you can see every mistake, every flaw, every single ounce of dirt. But as I find out all of it to be true. I can't find anything wrong with you.

As my soul keeps crying out, crying to not let me hit the ground. You caught me and made sure I was safe and sound.

I wanted to tell you that I'll never know, how to let you go.
So please don't let go of me
Because a future without you I can't see.

Yet I think the thing that's the craziest to me
Is that I was too blind to see
That it isn't just the fact that I needed you,
But you needed me too.

Guys, it looks like this book is coming to a close. I have maybe 5 more poems to share with you before I go to the next chapter. But this one finishes as I start college.
