“After I kiss you goodbye,
I hold your smile in my cupped hands.
I keep my fingers tight,
careful not to let it slip out.
While I walk home, I tuck it
into my shirt pocket,
keeping it safe from the cold breeze.
I feel its warmth there, through
the fabric of my clothing
thumping like a heartbeat.
In the mirror, I retrieve it carefully,
and raise it to my mouth.
I press my lips against it softly,
and in that moment,
Your smile stretches across my face.”

“I love you exactly the way that you are.
Understandably things come and they go.
When the time comes and it’s time
For things to go.
I’ll remember the parts of you that made
me smile the most.
The part of you that you’ll soon lose touch with.
That’s decided to come along with me
And live forever.
We’ll sit and we’ll talk about old times,
You’ll tell me your fears then I’ll kiss you
For no other reason except that you are
Yourself.
As for the person that you are becoming
Old things must be cleared in order
For new things to come.
This also is a person I’ll come to know
And love.
When the time comes and this version
Of you comes in.
There is nothing to fear.
I’ll remember the parts of you that weren’t
So easy to love. The parts of you that you’re soon
To forget.
You’ll tell me about all the changes
You’ve been through and how proud
You are to no longer be who you were,
Even then, with my lips.
I’ll give you a brief reminder.
I love you exactly the way you are.”

“when I am running on fumes
you fill me up.
igniting my engine to throttle a bit harder.
A bit faster.
you rev me up regardless of the number of bumps,
regardless of the amount of twists
and turns in the road ahead.
my heart belongs to you.
propelling me towards the sunset.
the reason I speed down the street in this passionate flight.
Not afraid to jump any unsuspecting hill.
most might think that I am crazy, the way that I drive.
if they knew the reason why, they'd press the pedal down as well.
when I am running on fumes, rev me up, rev me up.
Baby rev me up.
I am a well-oiled machine with a place to be.
whether towards the moon or the sun.
you're the gasoline that ignites the spark
that pushes me to go a little further.”

“Laying here with you
On this couch.
Lost in this quiet sacred cove
We’ve come to call our own.
Just you and I, no outside world to contend with.
Skin to skin, I wander in search of your heart.
With every intention of getting lost.
Come what may, if I become thirsty
I have your lips to replenish me.
The intimacy of drinking water together,
You fill me, as forever long we get to lay here.
An eternity more when I must leave.
The outside world continues.
Here in the quiet sacred cove of your arms
I am safe and without worry.
Here in the quiet sacred cove of your arms
I have found your heart.
And threw away any claims to a map.
There isn’t a need to discover what’s been there
The whole time
And that is your love.”

“Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
That's the question I've been thinking about lately
But currently, that's not on my mind.
It was a grind trying to get to you, but it was worth it
to hear those words “Baby, I am yours.”
Some days you drive me crazy,
but most days it's all love and happiness.
Like Al Green says, “It’s something that'll make you do wrong and right.”
But with you, I try with all my might to do the latter.
All the others before you don't matter because it's all about us.
When we started, I thought about trust because
I've been burned so many times
and I burned my fair share.
When you saw my imperfections,
you didn't stop and stare in disgust.
You brought me close and whispered in my ear “I don't care.”
You stared into my eyes lovingly and said I got you.
It was that moment I knew I wanted to wrap my arms around you
and hold you tight forever. Will you be mine in that way?
Will you never get tired of me and always stay?
I said all this just to say, “Will you marry me?”

“All his life, he has been
as strong and tall as an oak tree,
towering over the world.
She sees through the canopy of leaves
and the protective layer of bark
that surrounds him.
She sees the new green shoots
of growth curling towards the light,
and the way his roots reach towards stability.
All his life, he has needed to be strong,
but with her, he can be vulnerable.
Underneath the soil, their
roots tangle together, like two
hands reaching out.”

“When I look into your eyes
I see the doubt of lingering questions.
The strength of our love
And if it can prevail.
I see the things you’ve been through.
The trail of swept pieces of broken glass.
Shining through the dark.
I’ve both a broom and a dustpan.
And don’t have a problem,
Getting on hand and knee.
Sometimes, that is stronger than
Fear itself. The strength of another to help
Get you through the dark.
That is what you taught me
The first time I met you.
I didn’t see any of your fears,
Anything that resembled a troubled past.
I saw your light. Okay, maybe a hint of glass.
But there isn’t a part of me
That is afraid to hold on to you
With everything that I have.
When you look into my eyes.
One of the things I sincerely
Hope that you see.
Is trust.
Trust to love gain”

“When we collide
It’s like taking a bite of your favorite dish.
one that you haven't had in a while.
So satisfying and necessary.
When we collide
It’s so legendary that people speak about our union.
like it's a myth that doesn't exist.
When we collide it's like a chef's kiss.
So perfect and amazing in every way.
When we collide, I wish I could be with you forever.
giving and receiving pleasure
that's always beyond measure.
that's only achieved when we're together.
When we collide
our bodies, our hearts, and our minds intertwine.
and move smoothly as one.
Our collision is second to none.
and when I think that it's done
you sing softly in my ear.
We’ve only just begun.”
