Some more poetry from the other day :D

To you: The Future Love of My Life

Before I ever knew you, I thought of you

I thought about what you might be like

What you might look like

I thought that maybe your eyes would be brown

And your hair, brown

I thought about how I hoped you’d look like your mother

Because she’s so beautiful and I thought if you’d be a mirror of her—

God! You’re beautiful and I already love you

I thought maybe you’d like dancing

Maybe you’d like to read, and sing…

Just maybe

But whatever will take up your time

However you shine

We’ll be watching and we’ll be so proud

We haven’t met you yet… all the things aren’t in place

And we’re not ready

But when you come

No one will ever be loved more than you

By everyone

Before we even knew you, we thought of you

 A Poem For Her, Maybe?

We're going to be okay, even if we're not

Because at one time or another

We had each other in the grips of the other.

We held each other through the struggle, in rivers of tears

We grew like flowers and trees – they were watered by our struggles

No one could pick us

Not from the ground and not apart from one another

We were stronger because of the pain

And the deeper our roots went the more we knew

The more we knew about one another

The more we knew about ourselves

The more we knew about everything around us

Even when distance had us separate

We held each other together

I stabilized you in the words of my lips (or at least I hoped I did)

And my thoughts stabilized me when I thought about you

Sometimes you were naked

Naked like actually naked

And sometimes naked like raw… naked like vulnerable

I knew you hated it

You wanted to cover up because you didn’t want what they have

You didn’t want to get hurt

You didn’t want to be a product of this awful epidemic

This trap that our society has set

“You are mine and I am yours and now we sit”

—

“We are travelers on a road

We are pilgrims on a journey”

That’s all I ever wanted to say to you

This is what gives life

I will follow you into the dark and out into the light

I want to stand next to your and watch you succeed

Watch the things you’ll do

And the only person I want next to me is you

In the days that bring hurt

And in the days the bring joy

We are pilgrims on a journey

And I pray that the journey is long and we learn—Top of Form
