Hey,

Yeah, it's me... again 

I'm not really sure where to start, but

Just know i appreciate you,

More than an introvert appreciates a rainy day

And more than an extrovert loves getting the lead in the school play.

I appreciate you for all the curves and all the edges

Your perfect imperfections run circles around my head,

Like a dog chasing its tail.

See, when I was younger we had a family dog

She passed when I was 15...

At that time I thought that would be my hardest loss,

But then I met you, 

And you sent my life in a spiral in all of the best ways possible.

Love and loss are scary,

But with you it’s a fear i’m willing to overcome,

You’ve accidentally taught me how to live my life without letting fear run me down, 

That’s a favor I could never repay,

Not even if I had all the time in the world. 

See, everyone has time, some more than others 

But no one has an excess. 

Now, I have no way of knowing how much time I have, but I’m more than willing to spend all of my time with you. 

I feel as though our love, the love we share, is something out of a storybook

A calculated caricature of pure, absolute happiness.

This is my first real jump into poetry, I spent avery long time writing this piece and getting it reviewed and i'm very proud of where it went.
