because i love you.

because you are keeping my legs from folding.

because when i am tired, i am leaning on you, when i am sad, i am crawling into your comfort. because you are hooking my lips and pulling them into a smile, building a fire in the belly of my soul and warming me from the inside out.

because when i am lost, you are pointing in the right direction, when i am shaking, you’re holding my hand and whispering it will be alright.

and because when i’m jumping from thought to thought without leaving a trail, you’re laughing and calling it hopscotch, never missing a beat.

and, oh, because you’ve all carved your names in the back of my heart.

because you’ve all tattooed your words in the palms of my dreams.

because you are the pulse of my wishes, the tempo of my hopes.

because, because i love you.

thank you, my love

thank you for everything that you have taught me.

thank you for making my life way more meaningful than i ever thought it could be.

thank you for the hopes and the dreams.

thank you for the stars in my eyes.

thank you for the love in my heart.

thank you for the glow in my soul.

thank you for the life in me.

thank you for bringing into focus all that i have ever needed, which is you.

your love is like a tidal wave, sending a thrill right through me when you are spontaneous.

yet, your love is like a soft gentle breeze, flowing in my hair,

touching me ever so delicately deep into the soul of my heart.

if we didn't cross paths and fall in love, like we did,

i would have never known a greater love, then the love that is right in front of me now.

if we didn't walk together down this road of life, i would of always missed that smile,

that laugh, those eyes, your love, your beauty inside and out, and last, but not least, you.

thank you for making me the person, whom i am today.

thank you for filling in that last missing piece of my heart.

thank you for making me whole, as an individual of body, mind, spirit, heart, and soul.

overall, thank you for loving me from the very beginning, when we first layed eyes on each other.

a hug

A hug is a wonderful gift to share,

A way to show each other that we care;

There is so much a hug is able to do,

When you feel those arms holding you.

A hug is a place to feel safe and warm,

A comfort for a sad heart that is torn;

An expression of the love in our heart,

For ones who we wish, never to be apart.

A hug is a greeting when we meet to say hello,

Or to say goodbye when we have to go;

It can hold us up when life gets us down,

And makes us smile, instead of frown.

A hug can be given for no reason at all,

And given to those, both big and small;

We're never too old to feel the joy it brings,

As it is one of life's most pleasing things.

And for all of this beauty, a hug is free!

It costs nothing, yet means so much to me;

We should all hug another to show we care,

For to feel a warm hug, nothing can compare.

trust.

my heart and soul belongs to you

i give you my heart

for you to hold

lift me with kindness of words

just to let me know you care

my heart is so fragile

with one wrong move it could break

so care of what you say

for my heart might just break

so i give you my heart

to love and protect

to handle with care

so take care of it while in your grasp

so i may live in harmony at last.

promise to stay strong.

I promise to catch you when you fall.

But will you promise that you will stand back up again?

I promise to cradle you when you are scared.

But do you promise to never be scared of me?

I promise to hold you when you are weak.

But do you promise you will be strong when I let go?

I promise to never leave your side.

But do you promise not to leave me?

I promise to never break your heart.

Will you promise not to break mine?

If I promise that you can trust me,

Will you promise that I can trust you?

I have just as many questions as you do

As I stare right back at you.

I'm holding your faith,

And pledging my own,

My heart and soul.

All I have is in your hands.

Now I've promised to catch you when you fall,

And I promise mine will be the arms that hold you.

But do you promise yours will hold me too?

I promise I will use my hands to mold you.

But do you promise you will not take shape too easily?

I promise to give you everything I have.

But do you promise you will not take it for granted?

I promise to be there for you through everything.

But do you promise to be there for me?

You can trust me,

If you first trust yourself.

I know you're wondering,

But I really do love you,

And I want to be with you forever.

I hope that you can trust me,

I want to hold everything you are

In my arms, and in my heart.

I promise to catch you when you fall,

And I promise to be there through the long nights.

But do you promise you will still be there in the morning?

I promise to stay through the sreaming fights,

As long as you promise we can use them to help us.

I promise to be there, always by your side.

As long as you promise you will always stay by me.

I promise to be the one to wipe away your tears.

But do you promise to hold your head up high?

You can trust me,

As long as I can trust you.

Baby this might be hard

But we have to always stick together.

I promise to do all that you've asked,

And in return I ask some questions of my own.

Do you promise me that you will

Be there when I need you most?

Love me even when we don't agree?

As long as these things are true,

I am yours and yours alone.

Stay strong

and be true to yourself

Before you try

to be true to someone else

The Rose.

You lie on top of me; My body feels your warmth, My hands feel your skin, And I study your face Your hair, a waterfall of streaming fireworks Glowing with the light-- Your eyes, stained glass windows to your heart Worlds within themselves-- Your lips, sculpted crests of pillows Delivering warmth with their soft grace-- Your face, gentle swells and vales of a pond Lost in your face, I feel my heart Pounding beats on my chest-- You blink and gently smile at me; I never thought I’d get the chance To hold something more beautiful Than a rose

can't wait.

i can't wait

until i see your face

i can't wait

to be caught in your embrace

the gentle touch of your lips against mine

the familiar shivers down my spine

i can't wait

to feel the softness of your caress

i can't wait

to run my fingers over your chest

feel our bodies so close together

a lingering kiss that lasts forever

i can't wait

for your arms to hold me tight

i can't wait

to fall asleep with you at night

you give me the feeling of security

combined with excitement that drives me crazy

i miss you sweetie

can't wait until you're back here with me

few month is too long

guess i'm not that strong

time has passed so slowly

can't wait to tell you how much you mean to me.

you're perfect.

you're perfect because everything you do makes me smile.

because every second spent with you is worthwhile.

because when you laugh at me, i laugh too.

because everyone else can see i'm devoted to you.

because i love your eyes and the way they shine.

because you don't tell lies and you're so cute when you whine.

because when you get mad, you can't hide it.

because even when you're sad, i can find it.

because the way you hold me sends shivers down my spine.

because your spirit's so free and you are just so damn fine.

because i never stop thinking about you. it's not fair.

because you're so perfect and no one else can compare.

i love you.

You're the first thing i think of each morning when i rise.
You're the last thing I think of each night when i close my eyes.
You're in each thought, i have and every breath i take.
My feelings are growing stronger with every move i make.
And i love you.

the way..

I miss the way my heart skips a beat when i see you
i miss the way my world lit up when you entered the room
i miss the way your hand always found mine
i miss how our bodies fit together like they were ment for eachother
i miss the way my head fit your shoulder just perfect
i miss the long phone calls that lasted late into the night
i miss it all.....

the way your hair hung in your eyes
the way you always found that right spot
the way you'd make me feel so special id cry
i miss you and everything you do....

i miss you...

I miss you.

I can’t stop thinking about you.
It’s like you’re stuck in my head.
I think about you everyday.
You say you want, need, and like me
And I know you mean it too.
But without you here I’m just dead.
I walk alone in town and run when I see someone I know.

When I get to that one place where it all happened,
I just breakdown.
My heart isn’t like it was before.
I always ask myself “where are you?” and “when will you come back?”
I always end up waiting for an answer to come.
Nothing came and it just crushed me inside.
When you’re not here I feel like I should be dead.

When I see couples kissing in public and saying those words,
It hurts me, and I wish it was you and me.
I miss you like whoa, and this poem can’t even explain how much.

how i need you here.

I can't stop thinking about you.
The more you're in my mind, the more I want you here,
by my side,
holding me so close,
feeling your breath on me.
What I'd do to be in the same room as you,
to a room connected to your's,
for being a fly on your wall,
to watch your hands move as you tell me the things I want to hear.
...
I need your touch,
the sweetest feeling known to all,
slowly and gracefully,
over my body.
I need your taste,
when our lips touch,
as the passionate kisses begin.
I need your scent,
the scent I could never forget,
as you hold me closely.
Most importantly,
I need your sight,
to see you in front of me,
to look into your beautifully colored eyes,
to break the evil curse that I has made us,
for being so far apart,
to lose all these senses.

...
*sigh*
how I need you here...

i'll love you for now.

ill kick up my feet, and when i have food in my mouth ill speak.
ill be honest with you, and never tell you a single lie.
im going to be myself, and try not to be shy.
have i ever mentioned your my type of guy?
ill love you for now, and along time after,
baby put it this way we're meant to be.
♥

the most important thing to me.

I love the way I can talk to you
And say what's on my mind
I never have to look away
Or keep a thing inside

Tears fill my eyes when you're not around
Or when you just don't care
But I know in my heart you will do what's right
For me, you will always dare

Material things will never matter
As long as I have you
You make every day that passes
So much easier to get through

My worries disappear when you're around
No thoughts of pain or doubt
I feel you when you hold me close
And kiss me if I pout

I don't care what they are talking about
All I care for is you
I'll jump off a building to show you my feeling
If that's what I have to do

I like you for everything that you are
Not what you promise to be
I know you can't see why or how
You're the most important thing to me

cottage life.

The water

A translucent silver color

Shimmering in the distance

Like a thousand stars

The waves crashing rhythmically

Upon your eternal coast

The large rocks glistening

Under the rays of life

The sun, the brightest star

The clouds, like silk, decorating the never-ending skies

The trees, the deepest of greens

Painting the world around me

The everlasting beauty

Life surrounding me

Even time

Cannot break this moment

rain.

Rain,
so soft and sincere,
makes me feel envious,
of its superb free will.

the drops so clear,
as if nothing to hide,
but even this delicate drop,
can't capture your eyes.
you feel to dazed,
you can't capture its beauty,
you can't feel its reason of being.

in soccer.

in soccer,
there are no time outs,
there are no helmets,
no shoulder pads,
no commercial breaks,
no warm dugouts,
no halftime extravaganzas,
So if that's what you need,
Play another sport.
You big wuss.

free me.

I'm tired of tears

I'm tired of fear
I'm tired of being here
And unable to plug my ears
Against all the poison you speak.

Stop telling me who I am
Stop telling me all that I can't do
Stop telling me I'm worthless
Just raise your fist and hit me,
Finally keep a promise.

You can bruise my jaw
Tell me everything you think you saw
But I'm not you
I'm not him
I'm not them.

Once
Just once
I wish you'd see me
Free me
From this delusion that's my prison,
Please realize
That the girl on the floor
Holding her cheek
With tears in her eyes
Is your daughter,
Not a dumb brunette whore.
