Be The Change

You are the waves of love that gave me life
the flame that ignites my soul
and I’m blessed that you mirror me
You are the beautiful quiet pause during an autumn evening
where time slows and my heart speeds

The cool summer breeze where flowers bloom for our love
and the sunset over the horizon role plays our passion intensely
while our souls tango until dawn and I’m captivated
by the sound of our steady heartbeats

Your love crafted me into a poet giving me a poetic bloodline
and I can describe our love in similes or metaphors
by saying we’ll be poetry in motion as we become intertwined
in what will hopefully be the next 60 years of our lives and more
seeing our future as the cliché, corny, unique love relationship
God has orchestrated us to be a part of

I’ll love you to the moon and back even though I can’t make it there
I will love you on your worst days because they count more than your best days
I will love you even when I have to reassure you repeatedly
of my love for you when your insecurities decide to play mind games
I promise to meet you halfway and indulge in all your interests
Maybe not all your interests but I will try just to see you happy

Love is found in the depths of my words
in the language of affection and intimacy
and I’m glad that I’m sharing all that I have with you
But just know there is no way out
and you’re stuck with me forever
and no we will not sign any prenuptial agreements
