Fingers laced
Hearts paced
About to kiss, my mind slips
My heart skips
As the truth nears
And all my fears disappear
When you pull me back
To the reality I lack
As your thumb traces my chin
I can’t help but grin as you pull me in
I admit defeat and our lips meet.
The magical sensation
Of instant gratification.
I must have hit my head falling for you
In this world that is brand new.
Ricochet
Into my heart
Crashing fatally
Against my ribcage.
Resuscitate me. Bring me to life, but
Don’t disrupt this fantasy
Of you and me.
Would you-
Follow me to the end of the Earth
Where no one else will know our names?
Listen to my every word
And hold on to it like a cherished friend?
Join me for my smallest whims
Even if they require more than they’re worth?
Hold my hand through thick and thin
And be there for me when I fall?
Trust in me and believe
I would never lead you astray.
Help me act out my hopes and dreams
And celebrate our success.
Love me like there’s no tomorrow
And hope today never ends.
But even if you would,
Would I do the same for you?
It is cold
Dreary damp and dark
Nothing to keep me company
But the absence of
Your smiles as a tickle touches your sides
Brought from unexpected fingers
Your eyes as they stare deeply into mine
Telling each other secrets of their own
Your hand grasping mine
A lifeline holding me next to you
Grounded in our world
Your laugh as it sings melodies into the air
A tune I would often long to hear
You. Only a memory
That I can’t hold on to
Beyond this journey
From life to… The unexpected.
You’re alive while I’m here.
You are lost to me
But I”ll be here
Waiting for you to join me.
Greet you with
All the joys we once shared.
You will find me
And we will
Never be lost again.
A girl
That dreamed of men
Strong enough to support her
Fell in love with a boy
That needed to be uplifted
To feel loved.
A boy
Who never wanted to grow up
Or stop having fun
Fell in love with a girl
Who grew up much too fast
And never looked back at her youth.
A girl and a boy
Met and fell in love
And, together,
They were everything
They ever needed.
