During the peace before I fall asleep
When thoughts of you take over my mind
My hands subconsciously curl up
As if attempting to hold on to a memory
Before it gets tangled up in my dreams.

There is so much beauty in stating the obvious:
It's snowing outside.
Look at that sunset.
My god how your lips are soft.
Sometimes, the universe just wants to be noticed.

Ask me impossible questions
Request things of me you know I cannot do
And tell me dreams I can't fulfill for you.
Scream at me when things go wrong
Vent to me your deepest pains
Lean all of your weight on me
And then leave me out in the cold.
I am at your disposal darling,
Nothing you do could push me away.
Because pain in this world is inevitable
And goodbyes are sometimes the hardest things
But we do have some choice in who hurts us.
Through the good and the bad and the beautiful and the difficult,
Sweetheart it has been a privilege to love you.
"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices." - John Green

I don't need to dress up
To feel good about myself,
But I sure do like the way
Your eyes sparkle
When you look at me.

Let's make a tin can phone
And trail the string all the way
From where we first met
Through our journey into the future.
I hope that some day
When I pick up that can again
You will still be on the other end of our string
Winding it around your fingers
Just as delicately
As you used to play with my hair.
I will always love you.

On the end of the phone
Shaking like a leaf
Hanging on for your call.
But the worrying is worth it.
A strong man dared me
To let him love me
My hero
The solid tree that never sways.
There is no place I would rather be
Than on the other end of this cord
Holding down the fort for you
*faithfully.

He may not be a poet,
But there is a certain kind of beauty
In his knowing
Exactly what to say.
