i feel like he loves me
down to my every flaw
and that he would love me
for everything he ever saw
and if i could be
just the least of his worries
to trouble his hair and to
make memorable stories
i'd let him know fiercely
how much i did love him
and kiss him so dearly
our hearts safe to dive in
i feel like i love him
down to his every flaw
and that i would love him
for everything i ever saw

I wish to construct a poem that has rules and guidelines to follow.
I want to perfect the art of composing a page of black and white sorrow.
I'd like to articulate all that I'm feeling with grace and with poise to spare.
But what's there to say when I haven't the space or the heart or the mind to care.

i'm in over my head when you laugh and i can't take my eyes off your smile i don't want to get over your maddening ways i want to kiss it all out and place my hands on your face i want to hear like you do and see what you see i want to live young and free and taste you on me and for every day that i can't forget i want to feel it within me and breathe in your scent so give me one day and that's all i'll ask for one day at a time will make days the best and i've been trying to say only one thing to you since the day that we kissed which couldn't be true but right now it's eye boogers, ear wax, i love you

i have this vision of you on our bed with the sun shining through our big windows
and when i think of this daybreak touching your skin and going through your hair to my lips
i feel such serenity that i know if heaven exists,
it's right in you,
it's right in me,
it's us

i never want to love another man
