Why do you fill my every waking breath?
My heart just
wants to hug you till we merge.
Your smile makes me think I can conquer death.
A life without you
in it is a dirge.
How is it that you see what I am blind to?
The self I hide
beneath my turtle shell—
My flaws, which you are never less than kind to—
My worth, which
your worth rates too high to sell.
Why do my thoughts turn to divinity
When your soul
speaks in everything you say?
Who are you to show me a better me
And make me want
to be him every day?
What joy have
you made me the victim of?
Who am I to
deny it? This is love.
