Is it possible...

to love a person more everyday
to respect him more
to be more physically attracted to him
to want to hold them and hug him forever
to want to laugh and tease
to have your eyes sparkle when you see him
to yearn for his kiss
to want to stand by his side until the end of your time on Earth
to love a person more everyday?

Break Up Lines

All the things I've been told I did wrong:

You're too clingy. 

You're too emotional. 

You're too fat. 

You want to go out too much. 

It's you not me. 

You won't do me. 

You're too far away. 

You're not pretty enough. 

You don't have a car. 

And the one thing I've heard I did right:

You're mine and I love you. 

Melting the Ice

An icy chill is not unheard of in mid December, especially in the valleys of New England.
It starts with a snowy dusting, falling from the sky in tiny flakes, graceful and delicate.
It plops to the ground as water, but freezes on contact as the thermostat reads 30 degrees.
The sleeting ice blankets the world, creeps into the crevices of cars, holding to the roof.

It is your breath that glistens onto the window, your arms that defrost the wipers,
shake snow from the heavy branches, slide it off the housetops, hold me steady
as I slip and slide as if on ice skates down the driveway, through the frozen grass.
Your kiss that fogs the wet underneath the ice, making it all disappear, returning warmth.

Sea blue

Aqua marina, they told me, water of the sea.
In that tiny specimen of shining stone contained
my smile when we strolled the aquarium,
made friends with the turtle, played with the seals.

Aquamarine, it brought back the look of love
I gave you as you shot pictures,
the kiss through the glass, the sting ray's skin
as we pet it, the sun on our joined hands.

Sea blue, it washed the calm of a sea
after a storm upon me, much like you remind
me that it will all be ok and that we will get through
things together, the play in your eyes of the ocean waves.

Little Details

It's the little details that make me smile. 

Like when I know he puts on the shirt I slept in the night before, just to imagine me with him. 

When he hides in my nest of blankets, holding my back to his chest. 

When he pulls out his camera and catches me looking at him the way I always do. 

When he leans the picture I gave him of me looking pretty on his computer desk so he'll see me even when I'm far away. 

When he leaves me a tiny video, just to blow a kiss goodnight. 

It's the little details that keep sparking our love, day after day, forever.

Update

I'm sorry, followers, that I haven't been able to post too much on here. Work has been keeping me busy along with hanging out with the boy of my dreams.

On the cool flip side of news, I learned how to canoe! My first time ever on an actual boat. That may spark a poem in the next couple of days. There's just something about tying the canoe to the roof of his Silverado and heading to the lake for attempts at flipping the boat and laughing the day away.

I'm just so glad to finally be happy. He makes me smile every day and I love him dearly. I really hope to continue to post some new works soon. Don't worry guys!

Without

Without him in my bed, I feel vulnerable for nightmares' attack. There is too much room to toss and turn, wiggle and kick. There is no protective arm wrapped around me or chest beating consistently to sooth my soul. I lack the quiet soft kisses on my forehead or him brushing my hair, readying for sleep. I miss our rambling back and forth to silence our minds. But most of all, I just miss our easy sleep, drifting off together until the sun rises again.

How I Knew

Dear Love,

   It took me awhile to find you in your truest form. It took me awhile to realize that the man in front of me who was a close friend for so long was actually the one right in front of me the whole time. But now that I've found you, thank you. Thank you for helping me understand what true love is.

   True love is wanting to wake up to that person every morning. They're the last one on your mind at night before you drift off to sleep. They're your best friend, your confidante, your partner in crime. They're the one who you show the true you. They're the one who in return, lets loose too and shows the true them. Love in its truest form is raw. It's the basis of who you and that person are. It's not about being fake. It's not about being who you think they want you to be. Nope. It's embracing who both of you are and loving each other. It's about helping each other out, not always being on the receiving end. People too easily nowadays get caught up in their own stress and their own problems, but when you truly love someone, both of your walls are down and you let each other help with the obstacles in life. You understand what your partner needs whether it be a neck massage, a homecooked meal or just some hugs and cuddles.

  True love is not being afraid to commit or show your love. It's about being comfortable in your own skin and confident enough of your relationship to not have to hide anything or from anyone. True love is trusting in your other closest friends and family and knowing that if they approve, they know the true you and that person. True love doesn't doubt. It doesn't hesitate. It takes the leap of faith and knows exactly what you need.

Thank you love,
That girl that understands
