Spilled Tea

California

I'm not sure what I'm doing
and for the first time
it is one of the best feelings
in the world.
I haven't even known
you that long
and you've already
come into my life
so naturally that it feels like
you fit in like a puzzle piece.
I think this is funny because
I still feel nervous butterflies
and little things you say
make my heart skip beats.
It makes me feel alive.
You make me feel alive.
I was happy before you,
but I am incredibly
more happy now that
you are here.
You and I both
love California.
You remind me of California,
but it is more than that.
The feeling you give me
reminds me of a certain piece
of California that has taken
a piece of my heart.
A pretty little beach town
with a boardwalk that leads
to an ice cream shop.
The boardwalk that
my little sister and I ran across
and put our feet in the
freezing water.
You make me forget
the water was even cold at all.
You make me forget anything
was ever cold inside of me.
You are breathing
that has finally become even,
adventure, salt water,
and places I have
never seen before.
Places I'd like to travel to
with you one day.
I'm not sure what I did
to earn your affection,
but I am so happy
that I did it.
