Allegiance
Each step I take towards you
is each step I take
towards everything
I believed I'd never feel
but you took love
and placed it
right in my hands
kissed the center
of my palms
confident
that I'd never drop it
and maybe
this is what being safe
feels like
knowing you can
breathe
and live
and simply exist
with someone else
without having to worry
about things springing at you
every step you take
because you know
you'd face them together
maybe it is so hard
for me
to tell you why I love you
because I can't find
a single reason
why I shouldn't
maybe it is the way
you light up
my whole world
and I can't help but look at you
like you're the sun
and my whole world
revolves around you
maybe it is the way
you say my name
which makes me believe
in the power of prayers
and maybe that is also why
I prostrate before God
quite so often now
and maybe also why your name
colors my prayers
five times a day
maybe it is the way
you hold me
that simply proves
it's true what they say
that home
is seldom a place
and more often
a person
and maybe
if you saw yourself
the way I see you
maybe you'd realize why sometimes
I feel at a loss of words
and I need a moment
to breathe
comprehend
that you exist
I never would've believed
you were real
.
you're the sun
the moon
the stars
decorating my sky
you're the music
the art
the words I write
you're every thought
every feeling
every emotion
coursing through my blood
pounding in my heart
running in my veins
there is no simple way
to tell you
how much I love you
except maybe spend
several lifetimes
trying to do so
I'm yours
completely
and you couldn't be mine
.
I think what I'm trying
to tell you is that
you could be anywhere
with anyone
doing anything
but here you are
allowing me to love
the heck out of you
and I couldn't be more blessed
.
maybe some day
I'll find the words
enough to tell you
how much I love you
.
but until then,
here's a poem.
