I have cherished you through all these days.

A love so deep, even I can’t comprehend it.

Day in and day out,

my head is filled with thoughts of you.

Little things—

the way you smile,

the way your voice softens when you speak.

Do you know how much every small thing you do affects me?

You are a beautiful soul,

so oblivious to the world around you.

How much more pure can kindness be?

Do you think of me in the morning light?

Does the thought of me cross your intelligent mind

deep in the night?

Does your heart skip a beat when I say hello?

Do you feel it,

that strange tug in the pit of your soul?

Countless hours I spend dreaming of you—

your intoxicating laugh,

your soothing voice,

your beauty—

so undeniable,

even when you believe it to be untrue.

I assure you… it is.

I have acknowledged that I am in love.

Have you, my dear?

Or am I alone in the sea,

being crushed by the waves,

wondering for all time:

Should I stay?

Or shall I go?

A question to remain

until time itself

shines light

on a truth only we will know.
