We
had
it,
*Almost.

Everything is about you now
All my happiness
My sorrows
My excitement
It all belongs to you

I didn’t know who I was looking at—
Not at first glance.

I thought maybe you were just another soul
I’d cross paths with,
Someone I’d walk this Earth beside,
But not with.

Never in my wildest dreams
Did I imagine wanting to walk this Earth with you.

Maybe it was your hazel eyes—
Glowing like warm amber veins
Spread across a leather canvas,
Glints of green dancing around your irises
Like sunlight flickering through the forest.

Maybe it was the way your hand felt in mine—
The weight of it,
Not heavy in burden,
But in depth.
A weight that whispered of both love
And long-held sorrow.

When we first met,
I didn’t know who I was dealing with.

I was dealing with a thief—
An unapologetic one.

Because when your lips first met mine,
Something inside me shifted.
Something twisted… came untwined.
A knot I thought would never loosen
Was finally pulled free.

And for the first time in a long time,
I felt love again.

You stole my heart—
Effortlessly,
Unintentionally, perhaps…
But completely.

You became the center of my gravity.
You pulled every bit of focus from within me
And held it like it belonged to you—
Maybe it always did.

Now, all I want
Is to give you everything you’ve been missing:
Love.
Affection.
Gratitude.
Attention.
Appreciation.
Res­pect.

And the quiet safety of being seen.
Fully.
Honestly.
Tenderly.

You, the thief who stole my heart...
Can keep it.

Everyday I reserve a moment
to picture you
to imagine us
to feel your heart
which I know well is
still embedded into my own
I'm aware these few moments of my day can lead to nothing
but troubles, & heartache
because when I open my eyes
you're there
god knows where
& I'm here, nowhere
When I stop to think about why I still take my time to think about you
I can only come up with the reasoning that I still love you
I always will love you
even now, six months later
after the damage is done
after the tears have fallen for so long
I'm worried they may have seeped their way into my heart
Even with the knowledge
of the gut wrenching
heart altering pain
our love brought into my
all dancing and daisy life
even past the break,
the moment I knew the love of my life was never
coming home
I would do it all again
over & over & over
&over
again
just for a taste of that sensation
of us
lying barely clothed wrapped in your embrace
for just a glimpse of
your abysmal brown eyes
for a minuscule moment
of our epic love story
I just thought you should know
there's never regrets in this hallow hallway of my heart
only stubborn love
that grasps at a chance
for one more try
