The forest in your eyes

Green.
I never thought I would love the color so much,
I would never be caught dead wearing anything green,
That is, until I met you.

I remember the first time we spent close together,
Even surrounded by friends, you and I tuned out the world and I made you my world that night.
The way your hand ran across my skin,
Leaving little trails and patterns,
It drove me mad.
Your touch, hallowed.
But the thing that I loved the most,
Had to be your eyes.

They are deep, warm, and bright enough to outshine a galaxy.
I can remember our nights shared cuddling and littered with forehead kisses clear as day.
And the thing that rings the loudest bell in my mind,
Was the luscious green forest locked away within your eyes.
Being close to you and seeing them inches away from mine made me realize how easy it is to just get lost within them.
However it happens to be my favorite pastime,
Because I get to lose myself within you,
I get to be close to someone i share so many feelings for,
And I would do anything to get to wander in a rainforest of wonder and carelessness with you.

I have imagined the scenario over five hundred times already,
But, it never seems to go as planned.
Every time we try, something gets in our way,
But I'm done waiting.

I'm done imagining how your lips will feel against mine,
Because no amount of lines and paragraphs and stanzas and epics will portray the feeling accurately.

If merely having your hand in mine sends electricity blazing through my body,
The feeling of having you,
Be mine,
And show you how much you mean to me
Through that,
Would be enough to make my heart,
And time, stop.

I wish to someday be able to have the way to communicate with you just the extent of these feelings I have, but no amount of words in the English language can display my love for you,
Just what I would do for you,
Just what I would do to be able to see those eyes next to me as I fall asleep.

Time and time again you show me just how much I mean to you,
And I have never been happier with someone,
The light in your eyes has shown me what you're too afraid to say.
And that's okay, because I get to explore the sunny rainforest and beautiful rivers and starry night skies every time I see you, and nothing will make me happier.

I feel like this chapter was a lot more of me rambling than it was poetic, but idk I kinda like it. Hope you guys enjoy it.  Also, just reached 150 reads recently wow, should I do something? Do y'all want me to do something ?
