Love

rasberry pudding
“You know when I was a kid,
someone told me that
when you fall in love with someone
fall in love with their eyes
because those are the things that never change.”
I saw yours for the first time
and I’ve been lost in them ever since.

“I know you love me.
I know because I can see it in your eyes when you look at me
or when you steal a glance and think I don’t notice.
I know you love me because I can feel that you’re comfortable with me.
I know you love me because you’re there for me
and I can’t thank you enough for that.”
Look me in the eyes, hold my hands.
I love you beyond what I can express.
Never share me with anyone else and never shall.

I had you
I was in your arms
I heard your heartbeat
It felt so wonderful
I couldn’t help but think
Can this possibly be real?

Love me for who I am, not
Who you think I am.
Love me for what I do, not
What you want me to do.
Love me for my personality
And the qualities that are ingrained in me
Not the ones you put there.
Love me for me.

For how I make you feel and the smile
I can bring to your face.
For the laughs we share and the moments
That take your breathe away.
For the light I bring to the darkest of times
And the help I give whenever you need or want
For supporting you and knowing just when
You need me and just when you don’t
For me.

Love me for being there for you
Love me for never letting go.
Love me for constantly checking in
To make sure you’re okay.
Love me for knowing you.
Love me for choosing you
And being faithful.
Love me when I choose to love you
Love me for me.
Love is a choice.
Choose love with me.

Love is a word
floating above the indescribable
collection of what can only be seen as
desire affection and longing
growing in bubbles
that we pray will never pop
leaving us open to the blinding reality
that comes with each rise of the sun and moon
we see as loss
